Radiation dose reduction considerations and imaging patterns of ground glass opacities in coronavirus: risk of over exposure in computed tomography.
Review in La Radiologia medica, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This article aims to summarize the available data on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SAR-CoV-2) imaging patterns as well as reducing radiation dose exposure in chest computed tomography (CT) protocols. First, the general aspects of radiation dose in CT and radiation risk are discussed, followed by the effect of changing parameters on image quality. This article attempts to highlight some of the common chest CT signs that radiologists and emergency physicians are likely to encounter. With the increasing trend of using chest CT scans as an imaging tool to diagnose and monitor SAR-CoV-2, we emphasize that pattern recognition is the key, and this pictorial essay should serve as a guide to help establish correct diagnosis coupled with correct scanner parameters to reduce radiation dose without affecting imaging quality in this tragic pandemic the world is facing.
