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
Objective: To evaluate all ACGME-accredited otolaryngology residency programs by reviewing websites and social media to determine if there is a correlation between program ranking and online presence. Findings will identify key considerations for perceived program reputation and areas of improvement. Study Design: This study was a cross-sectional analysis of programs. Setting: This study took place between April and June 2024. Methods: Four independent reviewers evaluated the program websites using an online tool that assessed each program on both recruitment and education criteria; composite scores were used for the data analysis. A second section of the evaluation tool analyzed the social media presence of the residency programs. Results: Programs were grouped based on the latest Doximity program ranking in groups of 25, with Group 1 being the top 25 and Group 5 being the bottom 25 plus unranked programs. Programs in Group 5 had worse website evaluation scores ( Conclusion: We conclude that programs with a lower Doximity program ranking typically have a worse online presence, with the recruitment section being the worst score. Most ENT residency program evaluation literature dates to the COVID-19 pandemic; our hope is for this study to bring a new perspective to program leadership and how their online presence might affect applicant perception of the program when they are choosing which ones they may apply to.
