1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo assess the status of radiology subspecialisation recognition across Europe, targeting European Society of Radiology (ESR) National Societies.

methodsA questionnaire was distributed to members of the ESR National Societies Committee regarding the recognition of radiology subspecialties in their respective countries.

resultsResponses were received from 37 out of 47 countries (78%). Radiology subspecialties are recognised in 25 countries, whereas in 12 countries, they are not. Among 12 countries without recognised subspecialisations, 9 expressed a desire for future recognition. There are large variations between countries regarding the number of officially recognised subspecialities, ranging from 0 to 12.

conclusionBased on responses from ESR National Societies Committee members, radiology subspecialties are recognised in 25 countries, while 12 countries do not have formal recognition. The majority of countries without recognised subspecialisations express interest in having them acknowledged in the future. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This follow-up survey among ESR National Societies presents the recognition status of radiology subspecialisations in Europe. Among the 37 responding countries, there are significant variations in the number of officially recognised subspecialties, ranging from 0 to 12. KEY POINTS: Among the 37 ESR National Societies responding countries, between 0 and 12 out of 13 radiology subspecialties are recognised. No country recognises all subspecialties. The majority of countries without recognised subspecialisations would like them to be acknowledged.
