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

Radiographers constitute an important part of a multidisciplinary radiation-based imaging and therapy chain. However, is there a common framework for assuring high education, training, and subsequent practice of profession among European countries? A study was conducted, based on a questionnaire that consisted of three parts, concerning education and training (Part A), national registry (Part B), and professional issues (Part C). Analysis of the collected data suggested that a common policy is generally followed in the countries investigated; however, differences were not negligible. A common framework of educational programmes among European countries could form the basis for overall standardisation at national and international level.
