Otolaryngology Residents' Perceptions of Pregnancy and Parental Leave During Training.
Article in The Journal of laryngology and otology, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the experiences and perspectives of otolaryngology residents regarding current parental leave (PL) practices, incorporating insights from both male and female trainees to assess institutional policies and support mechanisms.
methodsA 43-item anonymous survey was distributed to 125 ACGME-accredited otolaryngology residency programs, yielding responses from 105 residents (response rate: 29%). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to evaluate perceptions of PL policies, barriers to leave, and postpartum support.
resultsMost respondents were female (57%) and married (77%), with an average age of 30 years. Only 26% were aware of the American Board of Otolaryngology's 8-week PL policy. Female residents typically took 4-6 weeks of leave, while male residents took none. Concerns about program strain (29%) and lack of lactation support (60%) were significant barriers. Despite this, most respondents felt supported by co-residents and faculty.
conclusionOtolaryngology residents reported dissatisfaction with PL policies, inadequate lactation support, and poor awareness of institutional guidelines. Addressing these issues is critical to fostering a supportive environment for residents pursuing parenthood during training.
