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

purposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the parameters that affect the radiation exposure and to establish typical values (TV) based on procedure complexity for cerebral angiography (CA) and brain aneurysm embolization (BAE).

methodsClinical parameters and exposure data were retrospectively reviewed for 348 examinations performed between March 2016 and December 2019 at a single specialized neuroradiology center. TV were derived as the median value of the distribution of exposure parameters such as total air kerma area product (P

resultsPatient gender was associated with a significant increase in the exposure level for both CA and BAE. For CA, TV were in term of P

conclusionMale gender, number of treated vessels, and aneurysm location are key parameters affecting patient exposure during CA and BAE procedures.
