A case report of radiopharmaceutical needlestick injury with scintigraphic imaging and dose quantification.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Attention to the implications of common needle stick injuries has focused heavily on the risk of cross-infection from blood-borne pathogens. An additional risk to the nuclear medicine healthcare worker is that of subcutaneous radioactive contamination from radiopharmaceuticals. This case report provides a rare opportunity to examine the clinical and operator causes of one such event during the dispensing of
