Evaluating radiation protection knowledge and practices in operating room personnel: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Although radiation hazards are prevalent in the operating room, making radiation protection critical for occupational safety, the current status of radiation-related knowledge and compliance with radiation safety practices remains suboptimal in many operating rooms. This study aimed to evaluate the current status and identify the influencing factors of radiation protection knowledge, safety practices, and compliance among operating room personnel. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among operating room personnel in hospitals at various levels in Hunan Province, China, using the Healthcare Professional Knowledge of Radiation Protection (HPKRP) scale was employed to assess radiation-related knowledge and a self-designed questionnaire to evaluate participants' radiation protection compliance. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. A total of 381 participants were surveyed, including 349 operating room nurses (91.6%), 13 anesthesiologists (3.41%), and 19 surgeons (4.99%). Among these participants, 206 (54.07%) participants had received radiation-related training and only 27.8% routinely used at least one type of personal protective equipment (PPE) during potential radiation exposure. Multivariate regression analysis indicated tertiary hospitals, departments with standardized radiation protection management, and radiation-related training were independent factors associated with both superior radiation-related knowledge and better radiation protection compliance. Higher knowledge scores (OR = 2.366, p < 0.001) and physicians (OR = 4.845, p = 0.001) were independently associated with better radiation protection compliance. This study demonstrated that radiation relative knowledge and protection compliance need to be strengthened among physicians and operating room nurses. Standardized training and radiation protection management should be adopted according to specific needs of different hospitals and staff. These results offer meaningful evidences for the optimization of occupational radiation protection management and policy-making.
