Feasibility of low-dose digital subtraction angiography protocols for the endovascular treatment of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAmong neurointerventional procedures, the embolization of complex shunt lesions usually requires more radiation dose. We aimed to evaluate the procedural outcome and safety in using low-dose DSA protocols for intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF) embolization treatment.
methodsBetween January 2014 and July 2018, 55 patients with dural AVFs who underwent endovascular treatment were included in the study. The low-dose group (n = 27) included from January 2016 used various low-dose DSA protocols made by modifying the thickness of the copper filter or the detector entrance dose. We compared radiation dose metrics, such as air-kerma, kerma-air product (KAP), and fluoroscopy time, as well as clinical and imaging outcomes with the conventional-dose group (n = 28) included before January 2016.
resultsThe total KAP was 40.1% lower in the low-dose group (87.9 vs. 146.7 Gy cm
conclusionThe low-dose protocols were feasible by showing significant radiation dose reduction and acceptable procedural outcome.
