Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 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
As the gender and racial equity gap in leadership persists, sponsorship is crucial to career advancement in academic medicine. While sponsorship is more commonly seen in the corporate sector, it remains underutilized in medicine, especially for women and faculty underrepresented in medicine. In this article, sponsorship opportunities are highlighted through case-based application with actionable tools for both sponsors and sponsees. Sponsors can learn to apply sponsorship concepts, and sponsees can explore asking for sponsorship. Three tangible themes will emerge to guide sponsorship: how to identify sponsorship through self-advocacy, intentionally align agendas, and "spotlight yet cover" during periods of growth. Finally, the importance of equity in sponsorship will be stated as a plea to sponsors to ensure diverse voices rise and to institutions to create more transparent processes and programming. By employing applicable scenarios, this paper guides sponsees and sponsors towards a productive sponsorship relationship and concludes with best practices.
