Women in Interventional Radiology in India: Findings from a Nationwide Study.
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThis study aims to characterize the practice of female interventional radiologists (IRs) from India and identify gender-related barriers. It provides insights and baseline data to guide initiatives advancing gender equity and diversity in the specialty.
methodsA cross sectional study of female members of the Indian Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (ISVIR) was conducted between February and July 2025. Respondents provided demographic data and perspectives on leadership, work-life balance, gender bias, and career satisfaction. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression identified predictors of career outcomes.
resultsISVIR registry listed 1,553 members, of whom 163 (10.5%) were women. Of the 95 eligible women, 86 completed the study (86/95, 90.5%). Most respondents (53/86, 61.6%) were in early career stages(0-5 years post-training). Dual practice in diagnostic radiology and IR was common (54/86, 62.8%). Leadership roles were limited (20/86, 23.3%), and 43% (37/86) perceived gender-related barriers. Mentorship was predominantly male (71/86, 82.6%). Gender inequities were reported in salary (22/86, 25.6%), procedural access (49/86, 57%), and patient perceptions (45/86,52.3%). About 55.8% (48/86) reported marital status negatively impacted their careers. Burnout was perceived by 75.6% (65/86) of participants. Early career participants were more likely to leave IR (p = 0.027; OR = 0.293; 95% CI: 0.099-0.870), while seniors reported gender-based discrimination (p = 0.024; OR = 2.625; 95% CI: 1.137-6.062). Despite these challenges, (74/86) 86% described IR as rewarding, and (77/86) 89.6% would choose IR again.
conclusionWomen represent a minority of the IR workforce in India, with the majority being in training/early career. Mentorship, marital status, salary, procedural access, and patient perceptions were potential gender barriers.
