Promoting Diversity in Otolaryngology Residency Programs: Underrepresented in Medicine Funding for Visiting Medical Student Electives.
Article in OTO open. 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
Objective: This study aims to report the prevalence and characteristics of underrepresented in medicine (URiM) funding for visiting medical student clerkships in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) residency programs in the United States. Study Design: Manual online review of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited OHNS residency programs as of January 2024, reflective of typical medical student search methodology. Setting: An online review. Methods: For each program, at least 2 authors captured presence of funding, the funding amount, funding origin, and eligibility criteria. Presence and amount funding were analyzed for possible associations with program type (by FREIDA™ program description), urbanization level, cost of living, and degree of racial and ethnic diversity in the program's geographic location. Results: Of 131 programs, 49 (37.4%) offered URiM funding, primarily through diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) entities (67.3%) or OHNS departments (32.7%). Mean funding per 1-month rotation was $1908. Eligibility criteria varied, with 63.2% using a non-specific URiM definition and 18.4% following the Association of American Medical Colleges definition. Funding presence did not differ by geographic region ( Conclusion: URiM funding is available in a minority of OHNS programs, with substantial variability in funding amount and eligibility criteria. Standardized guidance on defining URiM eligibility may benefit students and institutions. Funding may correlate with local racial and ethnic diversity, warranting further research.
