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

Background: Anesthesiology has become increasingly competitive with 3172 applicants for 1992 positions in the 2025 Match. While selection is holistic, research remains a key factor. Current Match data lacks detail on research output. This study analyzes temporal, gender, and geographic trends in publication volume among medical students who matched into the top 20 US anesthesiology programs. Methods: Using Doximity's rankings, we identified the top 20 anesthesiology programs. A total of 447 residents from the 2027 graduating class and 414 from the 2024 graduating class were able to be identified through program websites. Total, first author, second author, and anesthesiology-specific publications were collected using PubMed and Google Scholar. Gender, medical school region, and residency program region were also identified for analyses. Results: Class of 2027 residents had significantly more total (2.47 vs 1.22), first author (0.57 vs 0.29), and second author (0.59 vs 0.29) publications than those from the class of 2024 ( Conclusion: Research productivity increased between the graduating cohorts of 2024 and 2027, reflecting a growing emphasis on research among applicants to top anesthesiology programs. These may inform future applicants preparing for the Match.
