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

Plastic surgery and plastic surgical training programs are institutions rife with rewards. However, these rewards can be tempered by general physical and psychosocial stressors inherent to a surgical specialty. Although progress has been made in addressing the physical demands of training, less attention is given to the psychosocial and interpersonal challenges faced by plastic surgeons and trainees. Two key stressors are microaggressions and gaslighting. Microaggressions are generally unintentional but highly impactful expressions of bias, whereas gaslighting involves deliberate psychological manipulation. The purpose of our article is to explain the influence of microaggressions and gaslighting on plastic surgery providers. Most importantly, we aim to provide a framework for recognizing and addressing them professionally.
