Interest in cardiothoracic surgery: are women more interested today?
Review in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2026. 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
Cardiothoracic surgery is one of the most gender-imbalanced specialties, with women representing less than 10% of the workforce worldwide. Despite a notable increase in recruitment and certification into the specialty in recent years, the disproportion is still notable and there is no expectation for that gap to be reduced in the next decades. Women in cardiothoracic surgery experience unique challenges such as inherited bias, discrimination, sexual misconduct, and extreme imbalance in work-life balance, especially around pregnancy and childcare. These challenges are not only important during recruitment into the specialty and training but continue throughout the whole surgical career. Despite recent efforts from surgical societies worldwide to augment women in cardiothoracic visibility and support, a lot of work is needed to facilitate the path for future generations.
