What is the impact of clinical guidelines on imaging costs?
Review in Journal of education and health promotion, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Inappropriate and irrational use of numerous advanced diagnostic imaging technologies has recently been highlighted in many countries and has gathered the attention of policymakers. This matter has not only increased health costs in countries but also resulted in adverse health results. Various factors are involved in the inappropriate or unnecessary use of advanced medical imaging techniques including patient-related, physician-related, technological, and ultimately radiologist-related factors. This calls for the provision of new guidelines by policymakers to encourage all service providers to make appropriate use of such techniques. One of the main approaches in this regard is the application of clinical guidelines and decision support systems. The present study was a systematized review that conducted in January 2019, and the articles related to palliative care requirements on databases of Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Ovid, ProQuest, Wiley, and Google Scholar from January 1, 2009, to January 20, 2019, were searched. Strategy for searching and selecting the articles was Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Guidelines. Overview of the studies shows that various reasons for the overuse of diagnostic imaging technologies and effects of applying clinical guidelines on reducing diagnostic costs of treatment are investigated in this article with respect to various aspects and viewpoints. Clinical guidelines can be significantly effective in evaluating suitability and quality of referrals for diagnostic imaging, if only adapted properly.
