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

Objective: Health policies affect clinical practice and outcomes, serving as an impetus for civic engagement. Voting participation among Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) trainees is poorly characterized and may be afflicted by distinct barriers specific to training. This is the first study to evaluate voter participation among OHNS trainees. Methods: We analyzed survey data from the 2020 American Academy of Otolaryngology Section for Residents and Fellows (AAO SRF), capturing voting practices among trainees as well as attitudes to promoting electoral participation among programs. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to assess statistical differences by voting practices. Results: 20.9% of 277 respondents experienced decreased electoral participation since starting residency. These rates did not vary significantly by trainees' subjective views on the importance of voting ( Conclusion: Voting participation among OHNS trainees is higher than the national average of adults but slightly lower than other medical specialties. Training program culture can mitigate barriers to electoral participation. Level of Evidence: NA.
