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

backgroundStrategies to address inequities, bias, and discrimination that disadvantage Canadian physicians from marginalized groups are urgently needed. We describe a multilevel needs assessment of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in 2 departments of surgery that focused on identifying evidence-based interventions.

methodsWe invited members of the departments of surgery at the University of Calgary and the University of Saskatchewan to complete the Diversity Engagement Survey (DES), a 22-item instrument designed to understand workplace engagement and inclusion among physicians, with higher scores indicating greater engagement and inclusion. Leaders completed a Leadership EDI Readiness Assessment to understand their own barriers to EDI work and an Organizational EDI Readiness Assessment to understand structures for EDI in their division. Leaders were provided resources and interventions to address the identified gaps in these assessments.

resultsThe most common organizational gaps in structures for EDI work in surgical divisions and training programs (

conclusionOur findings support that gender and racial or ethnic identities influence the workplace experiences of surgeons in Canada. A multilevel approach to EDI work in surgical departments can direct leaders to areas for intervention.
