Beyond Traditional: Clearing the Roadblocks to Advancement in Academic Medicine.
Article in Perspectives on medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In academic medicine, the label of nontraditional is often used to refer to scholars whose outputs or journeys differ from what is considered normative. Those who do not sufficiently align with traditional expectations may be at risk of being excluded from fully participating or achieving advancement in academic medicine, an experience that disproportionately affects groups who have been historically marginalized and underrepresented in medicine. In this eye opener, the authors use the lenses of their own stories in academic medicine to illustrate some of the traditional roadblocks experienced by these scholars, such as the lack of mentorship, the tendency to overlook or discourage work on nontraditional topics, and difficulty fitting innovative scholarship formats into curricula vitae or promotion packets. To clear the roadblocks, the authors call upon institutional leaders to enhance their processes, support systems, and criteria for learner and faculty academic advancement. Secondly, the authors call upon individuals to consider how they might engage in and frame their scholarly pursuits in a way that their merit can be readily ascertained.
