Saudi radiology trainees' insights on safety and professionalism in the workplace.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. 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
Introduction/Purpose: In the radiology department, where advanced technologies and multidisciplinary collaboration are crucial, establishing a strong safety culture is particularly challenging. The present cross-sectional study examines the challenges of establishing a safety culture in radiology, focusing on how Saudi radiology trainees perceive and respond to safety and unprofessional conduct. It evaluates their willingness to voice concerns and the influencing factors, including workplace culture, potential patient risks, and demographics. Methods: The present study surveyed Saudi radiology residents and interns at two tertiary hospitals using a validated questionnaire. A non-probability total population purposive sampling method was employed. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to analyze differences in willingness to speak up across demographic groups. Results: Participants felt encouraged by colleagues to address patient safety and unprofessional behavior, with over 70% and 56% respectively agreeing. Residents demonstrated significantly greater support for raising concerns about safety and unprofessional conduct compared to interns (mean rank = 47.58 Conclusion: The clinical environment supports safety concerns but less so for unprofessional behavior, with residents being more proactive. Promoting open communication in radiology requires leadership education, multifaceted strategies, alternative channels for concerns, and future research to assess and track cultural attitudes. The findings highlight the need to cultivate a supportive culture for speaking up in clinical settings, particularly in radiology, where trainee involvement can enhance patient safety and professional conduct. The present study lays the groundwork for future research and interventions to strengthen safety and professionalism among medical trainees in Saudi Arabia.
