Impact of faculty and resident gender on milestone evaluations in anesthesiology residency: a retrospective analysis.
Article in Medical education online, 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
backgroundAnesthesia-specific milestone evaluations are intended to objectively assess performance in ACGME core competencies for anesthesiology residents. Recent reports in several medical specialties have documented differences in resident evaluations based on gender.
objectiveWe studied the impact of faculty and resident gender on milestone evaluations during Anesthesiology residency.
designThis was a retrospective analysis of 20,570 anesthesiology resident milestone evaluations from a single institution over a 7-year period during the ACGME milestones 1.0 time frame. Standardized scores were analyzed using a linear mixed model.
results170 anesthesiology residents were evaluated by 194 faculty. For CA1 evaluations, mean standardized milestone scores for the core competencies of professionalism (
conclusionsWe observed an association between faculty gender and milestone evaluation scores of residents that was most evident for CA1 residents. We also observed the overall assessment scores for male and female residents were significantly influenced by the gender of the faculty evaluator. Further work is required to better understand and mitigate gender bias to promote equity in resident assessment.
