Evaluation of the additional occupational risk for workers with orthopedic implants in MRI settings.
Article in Annals of work exposures and health, 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
objectiveTo provide quantitative information that can aid the relevant authority in deciding whether workers with metallic nonferromagnetic orthopedic implants can work in proximity to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, including when the exam is being performed.
methodsVirtual experiments in which the exposure of workers with and without prostheses is evaluated through numerical simulation of realistic human models, with reference to 4 physical effects: radiofrequency (RF)-induced heating, gradient-induced heating, gradient-induced peripheral nerve stimulation, and mechanical actions related to the Lenz effect.
resultsIn the presence of the considered implants, the extent of RF-induced heating and of the electric field responsible for peripheral nerve stimulation is low and comparable to what is observed without the prostheses. The extent of gradient-induced heating and Lenz effect, which occur only in the presence of implants, is minimal.
conclusionAs long as the body of the worker with passive non-ferromagnetic orthopedic implants remains outside the MRI scanner, the incremental risk posed by the presence of the implants is negligible. The Lenz effect is weak even if the part of the worker's body with an implant enters the scanner bore.
