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

Objectives: To explore gender disparity in the development of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) in Peru. Materials and methods: A descriptive and observational study was conducted. An electronic search for Peruvian CPGs published from 2015 until July 30, 2024, was performed. Microsoft Excel was used for data collection and RStudio for statistical analysis. Results: 177 CPGs published between 2015 and 2024 were analyzed that reported information related to the CPG development group (CDG). In general, the CDGs included 1527 men (58.8%) and 1070 women (41.2%) among clinical experts and methodologists. Men predominated as clinical experts, especially in specialties such as internal medicine and surgery; while women predominated as methodologists. The specialty with the highest male predominance was internal medicine (61.8%). Conclusions: The study revealed lower female participation in the development of CPGs in Peru, as well as greater gender disparity in participation in the surgical field and in public institutions. The low participation of women in leadership positions influences this gap. Strategies are required to improve gender equity.
