Pediatric radiology as a subspecialty in Nigeria: to be or not to be?
Review in Pediatric radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We describe the advent of pediatric radiology in Nigeria and the challenges associated with establishing the subspecialty. Nigeria has very few radiologists with a special interest in pediatric radiology caring for more than 82 million children. One major challenge is the lack of interest in the subspecialty owing to the lack of remuneration when compared with others like interventional radiology. The majority of the radiologists also do not have specialized training in pediatric radiology. With very few children's hospitals, where to work after graduation is also a deterrent for pediatric radiologists. Put simply, Nigeria needs help. We also suggest ways to overcome these challenges.
