Pregnancy and the working interventional radiologist.
Review in Seminars in interventional radiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The prevalence of women radiologists has risen in the past decade, but this rise is not reflected in interventional radiology. Women are grossly underrepresented, and this may be partly due to fear of radiation exposure, particularly during pregnancy. The simple fact is radiation exposure is minimal and the concern regarding the health of the developing fetus is unjustly aggrandized. Fully understanding the risks may help women to choose interventional radiology and practicing women interventionalists to stay productive during their child-bearing years. To date, little has been published to guide women who may become pregnant during their training and career.
