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

Introduction: It is unknown whether the publication productivity of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (FPRS) fellowship applicants before fellowship can be a predictor of pursuing academics in the future. The objective of this study was to assess whether the publication productivity of a cohort of FPRS fellowship applicants was associated with their eventual career path of academic versus non-academic practice. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of a cohort of FPRS fellowship applicants who applied to a single institution from 2012 to 2016. Their submitted publication records at the time of the application process, and their current career positions were queried. Results: Thirty-four (27%) of the 125 fellowship applicants are currently in academic positions with no difference in genders ( Conclusion: The number of publications and publications in otolaryngology or plastic/aesthetic surgery journals, but not necessarily articles with specific plastic/aesthetic/trauma topics, may be a predictor of pursuing academia for FPRS fellowship applicants. Level of Evidence: 4.
