Strategy to reduce radiation exposure in postoperative spinal computed tomography scans.
Review in Surgical neurology international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundWhen diagnosing and treating spinal disorders, spine surgeons commonly utilize computed tomography (CT) scans preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively.
methodsThis article reviews the literature regarding the potentially harmful effects of X-rays, specifically from CT scans.
resultsThe risk for damaging DNA and developing cancer increases with increasing scan length (e.g., increasing amount of radiation received).
conclusionWhen assessing postoperative status, CT scans should be directed only through the area of specific interest to limit the total dose of radiation received by the patient.
