Is There Ever a Right Time? An Evaluation of Family Planning During Otolaryngology Residency.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2026. 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
Objectives: To assess perspectives and institutional support regarding assisted reproductive technologies among female U.S. otolaryngology residents. Methods: This cross-sectional survey study examined ACGME-accredited U.S. otolaryngology residency programs from June 2024 to August 2025. A 15-question anonymous REDCap survey was distributed to otolaryngology residents examining demographics, reproductive goals, and program support for assisted reproductive technologies. Results: Of 48 respondents (response rate 6.53%), an overwhelming majority (87.5%) planned first childbirth after age 30, and 83.3% reported delaying pregnancy during residency; while 68.8% expressed interest in oocyte freezing, only 18.8% reported employee-sponsored fertility benefits, and 89.6% received no fertility preservation education. Conclusion: Findings highlight a mismatch between rigorous residency demands and family planning. While avenues exist for preserving fertility, lack of support and education complicate navigating these processes. Expanding benefits, integrating fertility education into residency curricula, and fostering open dialogue may support resident well-being. Level of Evidence: 3.
