Breaking barriers: Addressing gender disparity in neurosurgery.
Article in Neurosurgical review, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Neurosurgery is still dominated by men, with only 16.7% of neurosurgeons being women and even fewer in leadership roles. This disparity affects research, patient care, and health policy. To enhance care and equity, addressing barriers for women through targeted mentorship, inclusive practices, and policy changes is essential. CORRESPONDENCE: Despite significant progress in medical education and practice, neurosurgery remains a male-dominated specialty. This gender disparity is not merely a reflection of societal biases but a systemic issue that affects both the professional advancement of women and the quality of care delivered to patients. As the global health community strives for equity, the underrepresentation of women in neurosurgery demands urgent attention.
