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

introductionGender inequity in medical academic forums persists despite attempts to ensure better gender equality. In this study, we aimed to assess the proportion of female award and grant winners in both the ESCMID global and IDWeek conferences.

methodsFemale award and grant winners in infectious diseases conferences (2009-2023) were evaluated. Data were collected from the conferences' program book and websites. Gender for each award or grant recipient was assessed using Genderize.io or, if inconclusive, manually. We summarized proportions of women award/grant winners by society and over time.

resultsBetween 2009 and 2023, 39% (34/88) of ESCMID award winners and 57% (858/1504) of grant winners were women; For IDWeek, 32% (39/122) of award winners and 68% (17/25) of grant winners were women. For both societies there was a clear increase in women's representation from 2009 to 2014, with stabilization thereafter.

conclusionsRepresentation of women in conferences has vastly improved over the years, though additional policies and programs are needed to reduce the remaining gender disparities.
