Cumulative radiation dose from multiple CT examinations: stronger justification, fewer repeats, or dose reduction technology needed?
Article in European radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
key points• Clinical decision support systems for imaging referral provide generic justification for the clinical situation, but personal justification is needed particularly when dose is high or when the patient is sensitive to the effects of radiation. • Strategies to address cumulative high doses include stronger justification between radiologists and referrers; guidance for the frequency of surveillance procedures; and the drive to reduce CT doses through innovation in industry.
