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

purposeTo assess the factors that affect interventional radiologists' decision to transition from interventional radiology (IR), and to determine what activities they pursue following this transition. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn online questionnaire gauging influences on interventional radiologists' decision to transition from IR was posted to the Society of Interventional Radiology Connect Forum. 167 questionnaires were completed; 27/167 (16%) had fully transitioned from clinical IR, 28/167 (17%) were in the process of transitioning, and 112/167 (67%) had not transitioned.

resultsAmong respondents who had fully transitioned or were in the process of transitioning from clinical IR, nighttime call responsibilities (30/55, 55%), burnout (23/55, 42%), and age (20/55, 36%) were the most frequent factors cited in the decision to make the transition. Increased diagnostic radiology (DR) workload was reported by 23/55 (42%) respondents during their transition. Other than DR, the most commonly pursued activities following transition were athletics (17/55, 31%) and mentorship to students/trainees (15/55, 27%). Among respondents who had not transitioned, nighttime call responsibilities (81/112, 72%), burnout (64/112, 57%), and age (59/112, 53%) were considered the most influential factors regarding when to transition from clinical IR. Among all respondents, job satisfaction decreased for 82/167 (49%) during their IR career. 136/167 (81%) reported they would pursue the field of IR again.

conclusionNighttime call responsibilities, burnout, and age were the major influences in the decision to transition from clinical IR. Job satisfaction decreased for nearly half of respondents during their career in IR, yet over 80% would pursue the field of IR again.
