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
Prior to 2021, the neuromuscular medicine fellowship application process suffered from non-standardized timelines and substantial variability. To rectify this, the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) established a standardized application timeline and an online application portal in 2020-2021, followed by the introduction of a partial match process. In 2021-2022, AANEM launched a traditional, binding, two-way match system for fellowship positions allocation based on the Gale-Shapley stable matching algorithm. Surveys assessing perceptions of fairness in the application portal and match process were dispatched to applicants and program directors following the 2021 and 2022 recruitment cycles. In the 2020-21 cycle, 90% of program directors and 95% of applicants affirmed the standardized timeline benefited applicants. However, 57% of applicants deemed the process as unfair. All programs and most applicants (58%) favored a transition to a two-way match. The implementation of the two-way match in 2021-22 attracted participation from 97% of programs, with 80% of applicants and 95% of programs viewing the process as fair to applicants. A significant majority of both applicants (86%) and programs (94%) supported maintaining the standardized timeline and two-way match. We advocate for the universal adoption of the AANEM Match for neuromuscular fellowship recruitment and a standardized fellowship application timeline across all neurologic specialties to promote transparency, fairness, and equity for applicants.
