Prevalence of Bullying, Discrimination, and Harassment Among Women in Cardiology: A Snapshot Australasian Survey.
Article in JACC. Advances, 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
backgroundBullying, discrimination, and harassment (BDH) are prevalent in medicine and are more commonly experienced by women.
objectivesThe Australia New Zealand Women in Cardiology (WIC) working group sought to assess the current prevalence of BDH among females in cardiology through a snapshot survey.
methodsThe survey was developed by 2 women cardiologists and distributed to members of the WIC email list (180 members). The survey was also rolled out at a simultaneously held WIC meeting in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, in April 2024. The data were received anonymously and summary data tabulated and presented.
resultsThe survey was completed by 105 individuals (58.33% completion rate). Approximately 89.52% reported experiencing at least 1 negative behavior at any stage in their career, and 59.1% reported at least 1 negative behavior within the last 12 months. Majority (75.2%) of these behaviors were displayed by cardiology consultants. Of the respondents, 29.5% did not know how to react to the behavior and 17.1% reported the behavior higher up but no action was taken. Nearly half (47.6%) of the respondents were worried about the effect of reporting on day-to-day work or training. About 39.1% felt the hospital executive would be most effective in minimizing BDH.
conclusionsBDH was noted to be highly prevalent from this snapshot survey of women in cardiology. Urgent measures are required to mitigate and abolish these negative behaviors, a process that requires significant changes from all stakeholders involved in cardiology workplaces.
