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 future of surgery is challenged by two major issues: declining medical students' interest in a surgical career and increasing burnout numbers among surgical residents. Addressing these issues is vital to maintain a vital and attractive surgical profession. Recruitment of suitable surgical trainees is there for increasingly important. In the Netherlands, the number of applicants for a surgical training position is stable, with a significant increase in female applicants. The applicant-training position is also stable. Nevertheless, as a surgical community, it is our responsibility to ensure that this situation is sustained in the long term in a durable manner. Encouraging medical students, functioning as role models, mentoring surgical trainees and addressing burnout is essential to keep our profession attractive for all.
