The Changing Faces of Academic Family Medicine Leadership: A CERA Secondary Analysis.
Article in Family medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesDiversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts strive to create a physician workforce that represents the general population. Barriers remain, however, regarding the promotion of women and underrepresented in medicine (URiM) physicians. We sought to describe gender and race trends in academic family medicine leadership over the past decade.
methodsWe performed a secondary analysis of Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance clearinghouse data, examining demographic survey responses from available surveys of family medicine clerkship directors (CDs), program directors (PDs), and department chairs from 2011 to 2023.
resultsDuring the time studied, family medicine CDs female representation expanded to 60.2% of CDs, an increase of 23%. CDs increased Asian representation by 127% without significant change in other racial groups. Family medicine PDs female representation expanded to 54.5% of PDs, an increase of 97%. PD Black representation expanded by 51%, and Asian representation expanded by 100%. Family medicine department chairs female representation expanded to 37.5% of chairs, an increase of 61%. Similarly, Black representation expanded by 95%, and Hispanic representation expanded by 150%. In total, 19.1% of chairs identified as URiM in 2023.
conclusionsFamily medicine has improved advancements into academic leadership positions. Family medicine CDs and PDs have achieved representative status of females but lag in URiM representation. Family medicine department chairs have made progress in both female and URiM representation but still lag compared to the general and family medicine physician population. Additional mentorship and sponsorship are needed to access the resources available in family medicine to further advance DEI in the representativeness of its leadership.
