International Classification of the Pneumoconiosis Radiograph Reader Training in Turkey.
Article in Turkish thoracic journal, 2020. 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
objectivesWe aimed to determine the characteristics of physicians who had attended the Readers Training of the International Labour Organization International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses (ILO ICRP) in Turkey. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study included 601 physicians attending the Reader Training of the ILO ICRP. Data were collected using an electronic questionnaire, and the inclusiveness of the study was 29.8% (n=179).
resultsIn this study, 70.6% of the physicians were men, and the mean age was 48.6±9.6 years; 46.6% of the participants had at least one medical specialty or side branch specialty, and 51.8% were pulmonologists. Furthermore, 52.6% of the physicians worked in the private sector, and 86.6% had an occupational physician certificate. Moreover, 55.3% of the participants evaluated the radiographs using the authority gained by the certification, and 68.3% of those who did not evaluate the films stated that the reason for not evaluating the films was a lack of demand. Participants who evaluated radiographs had received a demand for films most frequently from 1 to 2 different jobs (33.4%) and from 1 to 3 different workplaces (30.1%). Most films came from the mining (47.5%) and quarrying (50.5%) sectors. Some participants (64.3%) stated that the quality of the radiographs was insufficient, 59.2% experienced difficulties because the radiographs were not obtained using proper techniques, 23.4% stated that the fees per film evaluated were low, and 81.5% believed that update training is necessary.
conclusionThe demand for these services will increase in line with the training and surveillance as stipulated by the legislation.
