Gender-related barriers to career progression in Indian anaesthesiologists: A nationwide online survey.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 and Aims: The presence and extent of gender bias in the workplace among Indian anaesthesiologists has not been previously assessed. We aimed to find out whether gender is perceived as a barrier to a flourishing career in anaesthesia in India. The secondary objectives included identifying causes of gender disparity, if any. Methods: The opinion of male and female anaesthesiologists of different seniority, spanning government and private institutions pan India, was sought via an online survey questionnaire (25 questions; multiple choice, matrix type, Likert type; Survey Monkey platform). The responses answered by 255 anaesthesiologists in a time frame of 1 month were compared between male and female respondents using Chi-square test and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: 78% of male versus 48% of female respondents disagreed that female gender is a barrier to a flourishing career in anaesthesia. Female anaesthesiologists were significantly more likely than males to perceive female gender as a barrier to a flourishing career (27.9% vs 6.9%; OR 6.69, 95% CI 2.68-16.70, Conclusion: Pragmatic solutions for a more harmonious, equitable, and stress-free work environment begin with acknowledging the existence of gender-related barriers.
