Patient dose in interventional radiology: a multicentre study of the most frequent procedures in France.
Article in European radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 34 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectivesA national retrospective survey on patient doses was performed by the French Society of Medical physicists to assess reference levels (RLs) in interventional radiology as required by the European Directive 2013/59/Euratom.
methodsFifteen interventional procedures in neuroradiology, vascular radiology and osteoarticular procedures were analysed. Kerma area product (KAP), fluoroscopy time (FT), reference air kerma and number of images were recorded for 10 to 30 patients per procedure. RLs were calculated as the 3rd quartiles of the distributions.
resultsResults on 4600 procedures from 36 departments confirmed the large variability in patient dose for the same procedure. RLs were proposed for the four dosimetric estimators and the 15 procedures. RLs in terms of KAP and FT were 90 Gm.cm
conclusionsThis study reports RLs in interventional radiology based on a national survey. Continual evolution of practices and technologies requires regular updates of RLs. KEY POINTS: • Delivered dose in interventional radiology depends on procedure, practice and patient. • National RLs are proposed for 15 interventional procedures. • Reference levels (RLs) are useful to benchmark practices and optimize protocols. • RLs are proposed for kerma area product, air kerma, fluoroscopy time and number of images. • RLs should be adapted to the procedure complexity and updated regularly.
