The Perception of Residency Experiences Among Orthopaedic Surgery Residents in the United States Differs by Race and Gender.
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
introductionWomen and racial minorities remain underrepresented in orthopaedic surgery. While there is extensive research into the recruitment of these groups into the field, as well as more recent research regarding their representation in academic medicine and research, there is limited data on their experiences during residency. The purpose of this study is to assess the perceptions of orthopaedic surgery residents regarding their experiences during residency.
methodsIn mid-2022, a voluntary survey was sent to 2,122 orthopaedic surgery residents addressing mentorship, access to opportunities, and "fit" within their residency programs. Responses were compared by race and gender, with 345 responses received, yielding a response rate of 16.3%.
resultsCompared to male and Caucasian residents, female and underrepresented in medicine (URM) residents reported feeling less satisfied with the training they received, felt less supported, and perceived greater difficulty for women and minorities in being promoted within orthopaedics. Female residents also reported having less mentorship, receiving less recognition for their accomplishments, and being less satisfied with their career choice than male residents.
conclusionsThe results of this study highlight the need to improve equity and inclusion within orthopaedic surgery residencies in order to continue advancing diversity in the field.
