Analysis of Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program Website Contents in the United States of America.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) residency program websites are essential resources for applicants when selecting a residency program. Assessing these websites against a 58-point criterion can provide program administrators with actionable insights to enhance their content and make them more informative for applicants. Objective This study aims to evaluate the comprehensiveness of content on American OB/GYN residency program websites. Methods We reviewed American OB/GYN residency program websites listed on the Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database (FRIEDA). A 58-point criterion was developed based on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) common program requirements and prior studies. The criteria included seven categories. Programs without a webpage, military-based programs, and non-US-based programs were excluded. Results A total of 272 program websites met the inclusion criteria. On average, websites contained only 28 of the 58 study criteria (48.6%). The most commonly included information was the residency manual (59.1%), while details about didactics and program structure were the least commonly included (40.7%). Conclusion The majority of American OB/GYN residency program websites lack comprehensive information for applicants. Residency programs should consider incorporating key details such as application information, introduction to the program, residency manual, didactics and program description, research, current resident information, and graduate/post-residency placement.
