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

purposeThe objective of this study was to evaluate how gender, academic rank, and race/ethnicity impact general industry payments for pediatric and adult gastroenterologists before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

methodsThis is a retrospective cross-sectional study using data from Open Payments for pediatric and adult gastroenterologists from 2015, 2019, and 2021. Given concerns for the effect of academic rank, gastroenterologists at top-ranking pediatric and adult gastroenterology institutions were paired with data from Open Payments during analysis as well. Summary statistics regarding payments by gender, race/ethnicity, academic rank, and amount of payment were described. Furthermore, the effect of gender and race/ethnicity on the total sum of general payments was tested with a logistic regression model; within the top-ranking institutions, rank was added to this model.

resultsOur findings show that women received lower median payments across all subgroups. Even after adjusting for confounding factors of race/ethnicity and academic rank, gender disparities persisted, with men 1.5 to 2 times as likely to receive higher numbers of payments.

conclusionsAnalyses must continue to evaluate disparities and allow for continued advancements toward gender payment equity.
