Female Faculty Representation in Anesthesiology: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Analysis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionThe presence of female faculty members in anesthesia residency programs is pivotal for enhancing and supporting diversity and gender equity in medical education. This study probes the intricate interplay between the percentage of female faculty and whether program type and geographical location impact the composition of female faculty.
methodsFor this retrospective cross-sectional analysis, we collected data from the Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database Access (FREIDA) system to assess the percentages of female faculty in anesthesia residency programs. Stratification was based on program type: university-based, community-based/university-affiliated, and community-based. Regions were categorized using the Association of American Medical College (AAMC) geographical signaling divisions. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to gauge geographic variation in female faculty percentages across program types.
resultsData on the percentage of female faculty were available for 89 programs. Among these, the average percentage of female faculty positions was 34%, ranging from 14% to 59%. Importantly, our analysis found no statistically significant differences in the distribution of female faculty positions based on program type or geographical location (p > 0.05).
conclusionsThis study reveals that the percentage of female faculty in anesthesia residency programs remains consistent regardless of program type or geographical location. These findings advance our understanding of gender dynamics within anesthesia residency faculties and underscore the need to explore additional factors influencing gender representation in medical education.
