Importance of Global Health Opportunities in Residency Selection Among Otolaryngology Applicants.

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
Introduction: Global health has become an increasing priority in medical training. In this cross-sectional study, we seek to evaluate the importance of a residency program's global health opportunities on otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS) applicants' residency selection. Methods: The questionnaire was distributed via snowball sampling and an electronic residency professional forum to 2023 and 2024 United States OHNS residency applicants. Results: Of 52 complete responses, the mean participant age was 28.67 years (SD 2.40). The average rating of global health importance in residency selection was 2.45 on a 1-4 scale (SD 0.86). Among the most influential factors in residency selection were faculty mentorship (88.5%), prior resident involvement in global health activities (73.1%), and funding opportunities (71.2%). Motivations for engagement in global health included opportunities to learn about new cultures (75%), career interest in working in a domestic resource-constrained setting (59.6%), and career interest in working internationally (53.8%). 63.5% of respondents reported prior engagement in global health activities. Conclusion: Global health opportunities can be an important factor in OHNS applicants' residency selection. Mentorship, funding, and institutional support for global health may attract applicants with an interest in working in resource-limited settings.
