Surgical Ergonomics for Women in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
Review in Otolaryngologic clinics of North America, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 number of women in otolaryngology is steadily increasing, with currently 30% to 40% of all US otolaryngology residents being female. Surgical instruments and equipments have historically been designed for a man's hand, and this puts female otolaryngologists at higher risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMD). There are strategies to mitigate WRMDs in the OR which can be generally applied but can be further modified for women surgeons. Large-scale improvement must begin at the source, however, engaging industry in meaningful ways to elicit the design of more equitable operating rooms and equipment.
