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
Objective: To understand how various compensation models are structured nationwide and to evaluate how these models impact the stability of the academic facial plastic surgeon workforce. We hypothesize that competitive compensation structure plays a critical role in retention of academic departments and aim to gain insights into financial factors at play in sustaining this workforce. Methods: This cross-sectional survey study examined responses from a 25-item electronic questionnaire sent to American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery members from July 2023 to January 2024. Results: Of 59 respondents, 45 (76%) reported employment by academic medical centers, representing 19% of academic facial plastic surgeons in the US. Compensation included production-based relative value units (RVU) ( Conclusion: Findings show that competitive compensation structures in academic facial plastic surgery are associated with greater job satisfaction as well as lower intent to leave academics. This study provides greater transparency surrounding compensation structure for academic facial plastic surgeons while providing insight into financial factors playing a role in their retention within academia. Level of Evidence: Level 5.
