1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Currently, two thirds of medical students are female. However, women continue to be clearly underrepresented in leading medical positions, which is also true for ophthalmology. The scientific output of female ophthalmologists is increasing, more pronounced as first authors than last, but remains below that of male colleagues. However, a significant gender bias has been shown in the grant application processes. There are significantly more male surgeons in vitreoretinal, refractive, and corneal surgery. Concerning surgical training, it has been shown that female ophthalmologists operate less during their residency, especially in cataract surgery. Also among surgeons do women continue to shoulder the main responsibility for family and household, despite the negative consequences for their career. This publication presents an overview of the present career situation for women in ophthalmology and discusses possible measures to achieve gender equality, such as the establishment of mentoring programs and networks.
