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
Despite gender parity in the rheumatology workforce, biases may persist in speaker introductions at professional rheumatology meetings, as observed in other specialties. We analyzed speaker introductions at an international rheumatology conference to assess the relationship between speaker and moderator gender on professional address. We analyzed video-archived speaker introductions from the 2022 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence meeting. Two reviewers coded speaker and moderator gender and form of address. We defined a "strict address" as use of "Doctor" or "Professor" and "lenient address" as full name with a professional title. Fisher's exact tests and logistic regression analyses examined associations between gender and forms of address. We analyzed 355 speakers (52.7% female, 47.3% male). Female speakers were less likely to receive a strict address by male moderators than male speakers (42.1% versus 57.9%, χ
