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

Objectives: Radiographers working in specialized cancer treatment services are at high risk of psychiatric disorders because of the nature of their work and the types of patients receiving treatment there. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of anxiety and depression among radiographers working in radiotherapy centers. Methods: The was a cross-sectional quantitative study of 55 radiographers working in four radiotherapy centers in Morocco between February and March 2023. Results: 26% of radiographers had anxiety and 40% had depression. According to the findings, the factors that contribute the most to the emergence of anxiety are associated with sex, place of residence, physical activity, interpersonal relationships, and regret in choice of profession; for depression, the only factor found was radioprotection. Conclusions: This study revealed anxiety and depression among radiographers working in radiotherapy centers. Further studies are recommended to investigate causality and to examine additional factors that may cause anxiety and depression.
