Gender inequality for tenure as Full Professor of medicine in France.
Article in American journal of medicine open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Under-representation of women in high academic and medical positions is reported in many countries. This study aims to compare degrees and careers between men and women tenured as Full Professors of Medicine in recent years in France. Methods: We identified all new tenured French Full Professors between 2017 and 2021 and collected the publicly available data (gender, year of birth, curriculum) from the Bibliographic Agency for Higher Education, a public institution under the aegis of the Ministry for Higher Education Research and Innovation. The primary outcome was the gender difference in age appointment of Full Professors. Secondary outcomes were gender differences in career development. Results: Among 820 Full Professors, only 266 (32.4%) were women. They were tenured at a later age than men (43.7 vs 42.4 years, p<0.001), while they graduated for the MD (29.5 vs 29.9 years, p<0.005) or PhD (35.3 vs 36.0 years, p<0.05) several months earlier. Women were also more often Associate Professors than men before becoming Full Professors (67.3% vs 59.2%, p<0.05). Before achieving Full professor tenure, the average delay is longer for women from MD graduation (14.6 vs 12.5 years), PhD graduation (8.7 vs 6.4 years), or Associate Professor nomination (7.5 vs 5.5 years), with a difference of 2.2, 2.4 and 2.0 years respectively (p<0.001 for all comparisons). Conclusion: Gender inequalities remain in regards to access to Full Professor status, the highest position in the medical fields.
