INTERNATIONAL: Overseas doctors of the NHS: migration, transition, challenges and towards resolution.
Review in Future healthcare journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Overseas doctors are playing an important role in the successful running of the NHS. They represent one-third of the total number of UK doctors and include doctors from the European Economic Area and international medical graduates. The main aim of this review is to explore the challenges that overseas doctors might face when they take up their first job in the UK. We conducted literature search using MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were designed to include published literature concerning overseas doctors in the UK and the NHS. Lack of information about the UK health system; language and communication challenges; clinical, educational and work-culture challenges; and discrimination challenges are some of the difficulties that overseas doctors might experience. Understanding these challenges and providing support are important steps in helping overseas doctors to make a smooth transition.
