What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe aim of this study was to examine gender diversity within the Canadian Urological Association (CUA) and to compare it with the Quebec Urological Association (QUA).
methodsA retrospective review of women's representation regarding membership, committees' composition, awards, grants, and conferences between 2012 and 2022 was performed. Data and gender were extracted from databases and annual meeting programs provided by the CUA and the QUA.
resultsIn 2022, females accounted for 18% (256/1431) of the membership at the CUA and 23% (52/228) at the QUA. The female proportion of committee members at the CUA increased from 9% (63/676) from 2012-2016 to 14% (177/1230) from 2017-2022 (p≤0.0001). In 2022, the QUA had a significantly higher proportion of female committee members than the CUA, with 39% (15/38) vs. 22% (50/225) women (p=0.0226), respectively. Moreover, from 2012-2022, 11% (5/46) of the CUA awards were given to women, whereas 38% (13/34) of the award winners at the QUA were women over the same time period (p=0.0038). Between 2012 and 2022, there were 16% (20/126) female CUA grant recipients and 44% (14/32) at the QUA (p=0.0095). The proportion of grants awarded to women at the CUA increased from 13% (5/39) in 2012-2016 to 17% (15/87) in 2017-2022. Two percent (1/53) of the plenary invited speakers at the CUA annual meetings from 2012-2016 were women, compared with 21% (14/66) from 2017-2022 (p=0.0016). In 2022, 53% (9/17) of invited plenary faculty were women at the QUA annual conference, compared to 23% (3/13) at the CUA annual meeting (p=0.0980).
conclusionsOver the past 10 years, there has been an increase in women's representation at the CUA and the QUA; however, data show that the increase in female representation at the QUA has outpaced that of the CUA.
