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
purposeTo investigate the impact on career, leadership positions, and involvement in educational roles among participants in the International Visiting Physician (IVP) program at a leading Level I Trauma centre.
methodsAn electronic survey was conducted among Denver Health Department of Orthopedics IVP program alumni from 2010 to 2024. Data collected included demographics, baseline experience, career level, and leadership positions at the time of application and their current status. Factors influencing the decision to apply, research, surgical observership, educational, and host city experiences during the fellowship were assessed using a 10-point Likert scale. The impact of the fellowship on career advancement, leadership roles, and educational involvement post-fellowship was also evaluated using a 7 and 10-point Likert scale.
resultsSince 2010, 61 surgeons participated in the program, with 45 (73.8%) responding to the survey. Respondents originated from 26 countries across all continents (5 from Europe, 23 from Asia, 5 from Africa, 9 from South America, 2 from North America, and 1 from Oceania). Six alumni were female (13.3%), and the mean age was 37.02 years. On a 10-point Likert scale, the fellowship's impact on the current working position scored 7.53, effects on future positions scored 8.14, inclination to serve in teaching/research roles scored 7.67, and future leadership roles scored 8.00.
conclusionInternational Visiting Physician (IVP) programs significantly benefit participants' careers, enhancing their professional positions, leadership roles, and inclination to be involved in teaching and research.
