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
objectiveThis study examines trends in gender and racial/ethnic representation in academic psychiatry department chairs compared to faculty in the United States (U.S.).
methodsUsing data from the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) Faculty Roster (2012-2022), a total of 1722 psychiatric department chairs and 125,333 psychiatric faculty at U.S. academic medical centers were included. Trends in leadership representation by gender, race, and ethnicity were examined using the Leadership Parity Index (LPI). Individuals were categorized by self-identified race/ethnicity (American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino/Spanish origin, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, White) and gender (female or male). An LPI of 1 suggests parity of department chair representation relative to a group's faculty representation, LPI > 1 suggests overrepresentation, and LPI < 1 suggests underrepresentation.
resultsWhite individuals (LPI range over 10-year period = 1.1 to 1.19), particularly white men (LPI range = 1.79 to 1.96), were consistently overrepresented as psychiatry department chairs. Women across all races/ethnicities were underrepresented as psychiatry department chairs (LPI range = 0.24 to 0.58). Men were overrepresented (LPI range = 1.54 to 1.70) in every racial/ethnic group, except Asian men. Of all racial/ethnic groups studied, Asian men and women were the most underrepresented (LPI range = 0.42 to 1.07 and 0.12 to 0.30, respectively).
conclusionsAcademic psychiatry department chairs continue to be disproportionately overrepresented by white men. The persistent underrepresentation of women in all racial/ethnic groups and Asians as department chairs highlights the continued need to promote parity in academic psychiatry leadership.
