Review in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The article is part of the series of articles on radiation protection. You can find further articles in the special section of the CVIR issue. Lately, more advanced techniques have been introduced in medical imaging expanding the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ionizing radiation. Among the various strategies that have been proposed for the management of radiation exposure, education and training seem to have a strong impact on radiation protection and dose reduction. However, according to several studies, medical professionals appear to lack knowledge on basic radiation protection aspects. Therefore, the establishment of an accreditation and certification system in radiation protection for all medical professionals employing ionizing radiation is considered as high priority. The purpose of this review article is to highlight the importance of education and training in radiation protection, provide recommendations for an effective educational program and propose an educational program structure for the different medical specialties.
