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

introductionDespite the increasing number of female trainees in otology and neurotology, women remain underreported in academic medicine. This gender disparity persists in high-impact research, where women are less represented as first and corresponding authors.

methodsThe top 100 most-cited articles from Otology & Neurotology (1980-2024) were identified using total citation counts. First and corresponding author gender was determined, and trends in female authorship were analyzed over time.

resultsA total of 7,485 Otology & Neurotology articles published between 1980 and 2024 were reviewed and the top 100 cited studies (1.3%) were identified. Women accounted for 29% of first authors and 23% of corresponding authors, with a significant increase in female authorship over time. However, overall representation remains disproportionately low. DISCUSSION: Our study highlights the persistent underrepresentation of women in otology and neurotology research, despite their growing presence in medicine. Additional efforts are needed to promote greater inclusivity in academic literature of otology and neurotology.
