1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo examine the associations between work-family conflict, implicit gender bias, and turnover intention among hospital ophthalmologists. STUDY

designCross-sectional study.

methodsWe conducted a web-based questionnaire survey between January and February 2024. The participants were full-time ophthalmologists working in 37 hospitals in the Kanto region of Japan. We assessed the associations between work-family conflict, implicit gender bias, and turnover intention using multivariable regression analysis, with adjustments for job fit and position.

resultsWe analyzed data from 74 ophthalmologists (mean age: 41.5 years, standard deviation: 10.8; 51.4% women). The median intention to leave score was 2.50 (interquartile range: 2.00-3.00). Work interference with family was significantly associated with turnover intention (adjusted difference: 0.30; 95% confidence interval: 0.075-0.53; p=0.010). However, family interference with work and implicit gender bias were not significantly associated with turnover intention.

conclusionsThis is the first study to examine the associations between work-family conflict, implicit gender bias, and turnover intention among Japanese hospital ophthalmologists. Work interference with family was associated with increased turnover intention but not with family interference with work or implicit gender bias.
