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

In this article, we examine the 60-year history of diversity efforts within the Section of Plastic Surgery at the University of Michigan (UofM) in the context of national trends. We describe the experiences of pioneering Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) and female graduates of the program. James Norris, MD, and Christine Sullivan, MD, were the first URiM and female graduates from UofM in 1974 and 1989, respectively. Currently, women constitute over one-half the plastic surgery trainees at UofM, but URiM trainee representation remains limited. Dr. Adeyiza Momoh and Dr. Amy Alderman were the first URiM and female faculty members hired in 2011 and 2004, respectively. At present, there are four URiM and seven female faculty members in the Section. With a shared vision, supportive leadership, and motivation to change, faculty diversity has increased substantially. Additional strategies, including ongoing pipeline programs in medicine and science for URiM and women, are needed to further increase workforce diversity in plastic surgery.
