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
Introduction: Gender equity remains a central issue in contemporary research and public policy, shaped by structural, cultural, and institutional inequalities. Despite increased academic attention, the field continues to exhibit fragmentation across disciplines and persistent gaps, particularly in intersectional and Global South perspectives. This study aims to analyze the evolution, patterns, and thematic structure of scientific production on gender equity from an interdisciplinary perspective. Methods: A bibliometric review complemented with systematic elements was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A total of 835 records were identified from Scopus and Web of Science, of which 129 peer-reviewed articles published between 1986 and 2025 met the inclusion criteria. Data were processed using R (version 4.4.2) for cleaning, filtering, and trend analysis, while VOSviewer (version 1.6.20) was used to map international collaboration networks and keyword co-occurrence patterns. Results: Findings reveal a sustained increase in scientific production, particularly after 2011, with peak publication levels in 2023. Citation patterns indicate concentrated impact in specific years, notably 2002, 2011, and 2018. The analysis highlights the predominance of Global North institutions, thematic concentration in public policy, health, labor, and education, and limited representation of emerging areas such as environmental justice and technological inclusion. Additionally, collaboration networks exhibit asymmetrical structures, with unequal participation across regions. Discussion: The study demonstrates that while research on gender equity has expanded quantitatively, it remains uneven in impact and scope. Persistent gaps in intersectionality, regional representation, and thematic diversification suggest the need for more inclusive and interdisciplinary approaches. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening collaborative networks, integrating diverse perspectives, and aligning academic production with transformative public policy strategies.
