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

When she accepted an unsalaried position as Assistant to the Professor of Nervous Diseases and Electrotherapeutics at the University of Michigan in 1892, Jeanne Cady Solis became possibly the first women to take a faculty position in any neurology department-but she had other important contributions to medicine and science. She encouraged and supported other women in research and academia, with leadership roles in the medical sorority Alpha Epsilon Iota and the Women's Research Club of the University of Michigan. For 7 years, she offered a prize from her own funds for the best published research in medicine or science done during the year by a woman at the University of Michigan-won notably in 1926 by neuroanatomist Elizabeth Crosby. As president of the Women's Research Club, she created a loan funding program for women's research. These small efforts made meaningful differences in the careers of women in the early 1900s, allowing them to mentor and inspire generations of women.
