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

Low-dose interventional x-ray systems have been shown to substantially reduce radiation dose in the pediatric and adult structural and interventional realm. We evaluated our single-center experience with Philips AlluraClarity software for all cardiovascular procedures; we also compared performance relative to patient body size. A total of 1155 patients were included. Data on dose area product (DAP) for radiation exposure, along with body surface area (BSA) and fluoroscopy time, were retrospectively collected for 467 patients before implementation of the Clarity system and for 688 patients after system implementation. DAP was then compared to BSA and fluoroscopy time. BSA was categorized into four quartiles to assess the relationship between radiation dose across small to large patient size populations. The mean BSA between two groups was similar (2.03 vs 2.02 m
