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
The growing proportion of women in medical studentship and medical practice contrasts with their under-represented role in leadership positions in medical professional associations in Germany. Against this background, the proportion of women in top positions of medical professional associations in Germany has been analysed.A total of 1460 individuals were counted in the analysis of the composition of the boards/presidia of the 183 professional societies. The proportion of women on the boards/executive committees was 32.6%. Of the 183 professional societies, 47 (25.7%) were led by a woman as president. 72 (39.3%) women served as vice presidents. Only 39 (21.3%) professional societies had a proportion of women on the boards/executive committees ≥50%.There is a significant imbalance of female leadership positions in medical professional associations in Germany. To address this inequality, a strategy with multiple initiatives is needed that includes both career development programmes such as mentoring and the design of congress participation to ensure a balanced gender representation.
