Demographics and Perceptions of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) Members.
Article in Veterinary ophthalmology, 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
objectiveTo examine diversity, equity, and inclusion-related perceptions and experiences of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) members. PROCEDURE(S): An electronic survey created in Qualtrics was distributed to ACVO members via the ACVO listserv, made available from June 24, 2024 to July 19, 2024.
resultsA total of 249 (43.9%) ACVO members completed the survey. Approximately half (52.6%) of respondents feel that it is important for individuals and organizations to engage in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training, and 68.7% of respondents are interested in exploring different perspectives related to DEI through educational sessions, with the most interest expressed for a webinar format. The percentage of respondents who feel that the ACVO does not demonstrate that it values diversity was 28.5%, equity = 23.8%, and inclusion = 26.5%. Discrimination experienced personally based on sex (8.3%), political views (7.1%), and mentor/location of residency (6.3%) were reported. These were similar to respondents' report of witnessed discrimination of other people such as fellow colleagues (political views: 15.7%, sex: 11.8%, and mentor/location of residency: 10.2%).
conclusionsWhile the survey results suggest some ACVO members feel they have been discriminated against and/or witnessed the discrimination of others and feel unwelcome, results also indicate that the majority of members feel supported by the ACVO. Utilizing the results of this study, concrete steps to address these challenges through changes in DEI-related education, policies, and procedures are suggested to help ensure that the ACVO creates a fair, welcoming environment for members.
