1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To compare the workplace experience of European and U.S. members of the otolaryngology community. Methods: European and U.S. otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons (OTO-HNS) were surveyed through three otorhinolaryngological societies. We inquired about personal and observed experiences of differential treatment in the workplace related to age, biological sex, ethnicity, disability, gender identity, political belief, and sexual orientation. Results were compared according to the world region. Differential treatment was used as a proxy for microaggressions. Results: A total of 348 practitioners participated in the survey: 148 American and 230 European OTO-HNS. European OTO-HNS reported significantly higher proportions of observed or personal experiences of differential treatment based on age ( Conclusion: Differential treatment, or microaggressions, related to personal characteristics or behavior varied in the United States and Europe with more ethnicity-based microaggressions in the United States and physical characteristic-based microaggressions in Europe. In both regions, females were more subject to microaggressions than males. More efforts are needed to tackle microaggressions and discrimination in the clinical and academic workplace of the Western otolaryngology community. Level of Evidence: 4.
