Patient radiation dose in percutaneous biliary interventions: recommendations for DRLs on the basis of a multicentre study.
Article in European radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectivePercutaneous biliary interventions (PBIs) can be associated with a high patient radiation dose, which can be reduced when national diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are kept in mind. The aim of this multicentre study was to investigate patient radiation exposure in different percutaneous biliary interventions, in order to recommend national DRLs.
methodsA questionnaire asking for the dose area product (DAP) and the fluoroscopy time (FT) in different PBIs with ultrasound- or fluoroscopy-guided bile duct punctures was sent to 200 advanced care hospitals. Recommended national DRLs are set at the 75th percentile of all DAPs.
resultsTwenty-three facilities (9 interventional radiology depts. and 14 gastroenterology depts.) returned the questionnaire (12%). Five hundred sixty-five PBIs with 19 different interventions were included in the analysis. DAPs (range 4-21,510 cGy·cm
conclusionsDAPs and FTs in percutaneous biliary interventions showed substantial variations depending on the centre and the type of PBI. PBI with US-guided bile duct puncture did not reduce DAP, when compared to PBI with fluoroscopy-guided bile duct puncture. National DRLs of 4300 cGy·cm KEY POINTS: • DAPs and FTs in percutaneous biliary interventions showed substantial variations depending on the centre and the type of PBI. • PBI with US-guided bile duct puncture did not reduce DAP when compared to PBI with fluoroscopy-guided bile duct puncture. • DRLs of 4300 cGy·cm
