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
objectivesWhile gender disparities in the US workforce have received substantial attention, income inequalities among subspecialty pharmacists remain understudied. This study aimed to develop a professional profile of pediatric pharmacists in the United States, construct and test gender-specific income-determination models, and identify and compare factors influencing income among male and female pediatric pharmacists.
methodsData were collected via a national survey targeting pediatric pharmacists. The survey included human-capital, job-related, and demographic variables. Separate income-determination models were estimated between genders, using ordinary least-squares with logged annual income as the dependent variable. Key covariates included hours worked, years of experience, administrative role, salary negotiation history, and work location.
resultsA total of 285 responses were analyzed from a 29.3% response rate. Women outnumbered men 3:1. The average annual income difference between male and female pharmacists was $10,294 (6.4%, not significant); however, regression estimates showed significant differences in annual income determinants by gender (p ≤ 0.05). Work input and experience positively influenced income for both genders, but job-related covariates were significant only for women. Working more hours and having more years of experience led to bigger pay increases for men than for women. Projected annual earnings based on model estimates revealed a statistically significant gender income gap of $10,745.
conclusionsThe study highlights a nuanced gender disparity in income among pediatric pharmacists, with income determinants functioning differently across genders. Although the average gender pay gap was not statistically significant, regression-based projections suggest potential underlying inequities. These findings call for further research and institutional dialogue to address gender-based income disparities in specialized pharmacy fields.
