Diversity in abdominal radiology: a decade-long review of gender, racial, and ethnic representation among fellows.
Article in Abdominal radiology (New York), 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
purposeRecent analyses have characterized demographic trends in neuroradiology fellowships; however, diversity patterns within abdominal radiology fellowships have not been independently evaluated. This study examines gender and racial/ethnic representation among abdominal radiology fellows over a decade and contextualizes these findings relative to published neuroradiology fellowship data and broader radiology workforce trends.
methodsPublicly available Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Data Resource Book data were analyzed for abdominal radiology fellows from academic years 2014-2015 through 2023-2024. Self-reported gender and race/ethnicity were extracted. Underrepresented in medicine (URM) status was defined as Hispanic/Latino, Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. Binomial logistic regression and Cochran-Armitage trend testing were performed to assess temporal trends.
resultsA total of 468 abdominal radiology fellows were identified across 10 academic years, with 44-54 fellows enrolled annually. Overall, 29.9% were female and 6.6% met URM criteria. Female representation ranged from 17.8% to 38.8% without a statistically significant temporal trend (OR per year 1.00; 95% CI 0.94-1.07; p = 0.92). URM representation ranged from 2.2% to 12.2% without significant change over time (OR per year 1.06; 95% CI 0.93-1.21; p = 0.36). Compared with published neuroradiology fellowship data, abdominal radiology demonstrated modestly higher female representation but similarly low URM representation.
conclusionAbdominal radiology fellowships demonstrate persistent gender and racial/ethnic disparities over a decade. These findings underscore the need for targeted, sustained diversity interventions across the diagnostic radiology training pipeline, particularly at earlier stages where efforts may take years to manifest at the fellowship level.
