Advancing Gender Equality in Australian Healthcare Leadership: Why National Targets Matter and What It Means for Healthcare Employers.
Article in The Medical journal of Australia, 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
Women comprise the majority of Australia's healthcare workforce yet remain underrepresented in leadership. This structural inequity has direct consequences for workforce sustainability and patient outcomes. Australia's new gender equality target-setting requirements, which create binding obligations for large employers, including major healthcare services, offer a timely mechanism to address this structural inequity. In this article, we explain why gender equality targets matter for healthcare, outline who must comply and what is required and describe how health services and training settings can embed targets within governance, clinical accountability and workforce systems. We introduce the Monash Learning Health System Maturity Matrix as a practical tool for aligning targets with organisational maturity and argue that, when implemented well, gender equality targets go beyond compliance, building the institutional resilience and culture that retains talent and delivers better care.
