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

Professional identity (PI) encompasses the values, knowledge, skills and attitudes aligned with an individual's role in the workplace and the expectations of a professional group. Due to the changing landscape of healthcare and the extended scope of practice of medical radiation practitioners (MRPs), their PI is also evolving. A well-formed PI can assist individuals, organisations and professions. For individuals, understanding PI can provide role clarity, a clear sense of purpose and direction, career progression opportunities, enhance work motivation and satisfaction, and improve well-being. For professions or organisations, a well-defined PI can increase workforce retention, improve work productivity and professional performance, support the professional development of individuals, and the way the profession is perceived by society. An understanding of the evolving PI of MRPs is required. Collaborative autoethnography (CAE) qualitative research can be feasibly used by MRPs to investigate their PI. To undertake CAE, the steps involved in the research process must be appreciated.
