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

Women are overall underrepresented in high-level leadership positions across organizations, particularly in the fields of healthcare, medical imaging, and oncology, despite the majority of the workforce in these industries being female. Women leaders often remain in these roles for shorter times, despite evidence documenting their value in increasing team wellbeing, productivity and collaboration and supporting organizational integrity, sustainability, diversity and inclusion. The reasons are complex, but often due to a lack of ongoing support or poor local culture. There is an urgent need to harness the potential of female leadership, not only to leverage equity and diversity, but mainly to solve the complex healthcare challenges of our diverse society now and in the future. Customized training and mentoring, clearer career pathways, flexible work, workplace adaptations and male allyship are key to raising, nurturing and supporting female leaders in the long term.
