Podcasting in Medicine: A Review of the Current Content by Specialty.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
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
Background Podcasts and their use in medical education is growing and becoming more popular, all while not knowing what podcasts are available for each specialty. Objectives To ascertain the number of podcasts available by specialty and collect basic characteristics of each podcast. Methods This was a Google-based, investigational study of medical podcasts by specialty undertaken by all authors from January to June 2019. Search terms included "podcasts in ____", where various specialties were inserted to identify current podcasts. Results Over the course of a six month period, 19 specialties were investigated for podcasting content. Emergency medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics had the most active podcasts. Obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, and orthopedic surgery have the most inactive podcasts. Neurosurgery was the only specialty searched without any identifiable active podcasts. Conclusions While emergency medicine has a large number of podcasts, both active and available other specialties have less of a selection.
