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 7 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. The expanding applications of interventional procedures coupled with the potential harmful effects of ionizing radiation highlight the need to assess the delivered radiation dose and establish an effective radiation protection program, particularly in the radiosensitive pediatric population. Given the complexity and heterogeneity of interventional procedures as well as the unique characteristics of children, the management of radiation dose is proving to be quite challenging. The aim of the current article is to provide an overview of the radiation exposure in pediatric patients during interventional procedures focusing on the importance of radiation protection in the pediatric population, the reported radiation doses and the techniques of minimizing radiation dose.
