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

purposeThis study aims to investigate the factors influencing career choices in pediatric surgery with a focus on gender and generational differences in Türkiye.

methodsA cross-sectional survey study was conducted. A questionnaire, consisting of 42 questions was developed and distributed to pediatric surgeons via email and other digital platforms.

resultsThe study included 121 participants (72 males, 49 females). During clinical internships, the recognition score for pediatric surgery specialty was significantly higher among those who volunteered in clinics or participated in surgical procedures (p < 0.05). Females had higher operating room participation compared to males (51.4% vs. 69.4%, p < 0.05). For career choice reasons, Baby Boomers (1943-1960) cited "affinity towards a specific clinic" (53.6%), while Millennials (1982-2004) prioritized the "TUS score effect" (50%) and "program's geographic location" (42.5%). Job satisfaction averaged 6.8/10, with dissatisfaction related to "harsh working conditions" and "low income." Regarding marital status, 87.5% of men and 59.2% of women were married (p < 0.05). Additionally, 23.6% of men and 55.1% of women had no children (p < 0.05).

conclusionPediatric surgery faces persistent challenges across generations. mproving training conditions, creating a supportive work environment, and increasing student involvement in pediatric surgery practices are critical. Adjustments are needed for future Generation Z residents.
