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: Despite increasing gender parity in medical school enrolment, disparities in career progression and physician well-being persist. This study evaluated professional experiences, health status and perceived gender-related barriers among pulmonologists in France. Methods: A nationwide, anonymous cross-sectional survey (546-item) was distributed to all French pulmonologists between July 2023 and February 2024. Data included work-related health disorders, career paths and gender perceptions. Gender differences in dissatisfaction and health issues were assessed (chi Results: A total of 586 pulmonologists responded (21% response rate), 57% of whom were women; median age of 38 (interquartile range 32-49) years. Job satisfaction was moderate (mean±sd score of 3.5±1.0, out of 5)). Mental health issues were common. 51.5% reported anxiety, 22.0% burnout, 16.9% depression and over 60% had sleep disturbances. Women reported significantly higher rates of anxiety (58.8% Conclusion: This national survey highlights notable gender-based disparities in mental health and career advancement among French pulmonologists.
