Female Non-orthopaedic Surgeon Faculty Are Associated with Female Resident Gender Diversity in Orthopaedic Surgery Training Programs.
Review in JB & JS open access. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Orthopaedic surgery still has one of the lowest representations of female physicians of all specialties. This investigation evaluated the association of female non-orthopaedic surgeon faculty (NOSF) and female orthopaedic surgeon faculty (OSF) with female resident composition in orthopaedic surgery residency programs. A secondary objective was to evaluate the association between female leadership and female residents. It was hypothesized female NOSF, OSF, residency program leadership, and departmental leadership are positively correlated with female resident composition. Methods: Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited orthopaedic surgery residency programs for the 2024 to 2025 academic year were included. Military residencies and residency programs that did not report residents and faculty were excluded. The total number of OSF and female OSF was recorded from both program websites (W-OSF) and programs' self-reported data (SR-OSF) in 2 publicly available databases. The number of female residents, NOSF, and leadership was extracted from program websites. Gender identity was confirmed using the National Provider Identifier database. Univariate, multivariate, and correlation statistics between female residents, OSF, NOSF, total faculty, and other program characteristics were examined. Results: In all, 198 programs reported residents and faculty and were included. The percentage of female residents was significantly correlated with the number of female W-OSF (r Conclusion: Female non-orthopaedic surgeon faculty were associated with female resident diversity. Female orthopaedic surgeon faculty and program directors were also associated with more female residents. Efforts to increase female faculty and leadership may be associated with increased female trainees. Level of Evidence: Level III.
