Diffusion of innovation in radiation oncology in the United States.
Article in BJR open, 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
objectiveTo develop an instrument for quantifying innovation and assess the diffusion of innovation in radiation oncology (RO) in the United States.
methodsPrimary data were collected for using total population convenience sampling. Innovation Score and Innovation Utilization Score were determined using 20 indicators. 240 medical physicists (MPs) practicing in RO in the United States completed a custom Internet-based survey.
resultsCenters with no academic affiliation are trailing behind in innovation in total (MD = 1.65, 95% C I[0.38,2.917],
conclusionsThere is a wide range of innovation across RO centers in the United States. RO centers in the United States are not practicing as innovative as reasonably achievable. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This work quantified how innovative RO in the United States is and results provide guidance on how to improve it in the future.
