Exposure to the reproductive endocrinology subspecialty among obstetrics and gynecology residency programs.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposePrior studies found that Ob-gyn trainees believe they have inadequate experience in the REI subspecialty. We evaluated the amount of time devoted to REI within the 4-year rotation schedule of ACGME-accredited Ob-gyn residency programs.
methodsA list of current Ob-gyn residency programs, both with and without REI fellowships, was created using ACOG and ACGME databases. The programs' websites were reviewed, or the program coordinator was queried to determine the length and year of REI rotation, and the career or fellowships pursued by alumni. Wilcoxon rank sum test was utilized to assess differences in total REI rotation time between REI-affiliated and non-affiliated programs. Spearman's correlation was utilized to assess the association between total REI exposure and the percentage of alumni pursuing REI fellowships.
resultsCumulative length of REI rotations throughout residency ranged from 0 to 20 weeks. Mean cumulative rotation length was greater in non-REI than in REI-affiliated programs (7.4 weeks vs. 6.1 weeks, p = 0.007). However, REI-affiliated programs had greater exposure to REI rotations during the first 2 years of residency (3.9 weeks vs 3.1 weeks, p = 0.042). Among all programs, 24% had the REI rotation in PGY-1, 61% in PGY-2, 50% in PGY-3, and 16% in PGY-4. The proportion of alumni matching in REI fellowship was significantly greater in REI-affiliated programs than non-REI affiliated programs (9.5% vs. 3.1%, p < 0.001).
conclusionCompared to non-REI affiliated programs, Ob-gyn residencies affiliated with REI fellowships spend less time throughout residency training in REI rotations while sending a greater proportion of residents to REI fellowships.
