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

Healthcare waste accounts for a meaningful proportion of the global carbon footprint. There are innumerable global endeavours to integrate "green" initiatives into everyday living. Every interventional radiology (IR) department must strive to minimise its carbon footprint without any diminution of patient care. We explored the factors that negatively impact the environment with respect to waste generation in the IR suite and how simple innovations can bring about sustainable change. The aim of this review article is to outline the nature of waste generated in the IR suite and to describe changes that IR departments can make to reduce the negative environmental effect of their practice.
