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

Objective: Gains in Asian representation have been reported across otolaryngology residency programs over the previous decade. We provide an update on otolaryngology resident demographics from 2018 to 2024 to determine how Asian representation has changed. Methods: Demographic data from annual reports by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). Otolaryngology resident reports were compared to other medical specialties. Asian representation was assessed and compared to that of other reported races/ethnicities. Trends were compared between 2018 and 2024. Results: Between 2018 and 2024, Asian representation in Otolaryngology remained stable, showing a small decline from 2018 to 2023 that was followed by rebound growth in 2023-2024 observed across multiple specialties. The total proportion of Asian, Black, and Hispanic residents rose significantly ( Conclusion: From 2018 to 2024, Asian representation in Otolaryngology remained stable, with limited but insignificant growth overall. Sustained increases in the proportion of Asian otolaryngology residents have yet to be seen, but there remain promising levels of Asian resident representation, especially compared to other minority groups. Level of Evidence: 5.
