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

Objective: To compare online ratings between male and female healthcare professionals practicing in Moscow, Russia. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a publicly available dataset containing profiles of healthcare professionals practicing in Moscow, Russia, extracted from the Napopravku and DocDoc healthcare platforms; data extraction and analysis were performed in May 2026. Healthcare professionals with missing sex or rating data were excluded. Healthcare professions were grouped into 20 categories. Ratings were compared between men and women using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and adjusted median regression analyses. Results: A total of 64,939 healthcare professionals were included, including 23,454 men (36.1%) and 41,485 women (63.9%). Median ratings were identical in men and women (8.6/10), although rating distributions differed significantly ( Conclusions: Online ratings of healthcare professionals in Moscow were overall highly positive. Although differences were modest, male healthcare professionals tended to receive slightly more favorable ratings than female healthcare professionals across several healthcare profession categories.
