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
purposeTo characterize sustainability practices and identify implementation barriers among radiation oncology (RO) professionals in Spain. MATERIAL AND
methodsA 38-item survey was distributed to members of the Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology (SEOR) in October 2025. Responses from 122 specialists (out of 1355 invited, 9.0% response rate) were analyzed using Chi-Square and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
resultsPrivate vehicles remain the primary mode of commuting (56.2%), even though 61.5% of specialists live within 10 km of their centers. Significant barriers include a 75.4% lack of formal sustainability training and a 92% absence of teleworking options. However, the public sector shows a significantly lower adoption of paperless workflows compared to the private sector (29.1% vs. 69.2%; p = 0.016). Interest in national green initiatives is high (median 8.0/10).
conclusionA significant gap exists between professional interest and institutional support. Education and improving departmental infrastructure are key to advancing sustainable RO in Spain.
