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
Purpose: The American Society for Surgery of the Hand (ASSH) is the largest membership organization for hand surgeons. In 2022, the ASSH annual meeting had a man president and men program chairs. In 2023, the ASSH annual meeting was led by a woman president and women co-chairs. In this study, we aimed to compare the gender and racial diversity of speakers and moderators between these 2 years. Methods: The programs for ASSH for 2022 and 2023 were collected from web searches and ASSH Annual meeting programs. Gender and race for each speaker were discerned based on perceived visual perceptions from photographs. Chi-square tests were performed to compare the gender and racial diversity between 2022 and 2023. Results: There were 620 and 587 speaking opportunities in years 2022 and 2023, respectively. Proportion of women speakers significantly increased from 23.1% to 33.2%, as did the proportion of women moderators (18.6% vs 38.0%). Racial distribution did not significantly change between 2022 and 2023. Percentages of panels with at least one woman speaker significantly improved between the two time points, from 66.7% to 87.1%. Conclusions: We found significant increases in the proportion of women speakers and panels with at least one woman speaker between the 2022 and 2023 annual meetings ( Type of study/level of evidence: Observational III.
