Radiation Exposure in Interventional Stroke Treatment : Analysis of the German Neurointerventional Database (DeGIR/DGNR) from 2019 to 2021.
Article in Clinical neuroradiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo evaluate patient-related radiation exposure in interventional stroke treatment by analyzing data from the German Society for Interventional Radiology and Minimally Invasive Therapy (DeGIR) and the German Society of Neuroradiology (DGNR) quality registry from 2019-2021.
methodsThe DeGIR/DGNR registry is the largest database of radiological interventions in Germany. Since the introduction of the registry in 2012, the participating hospitals have entered clinical and dose-related data on the procedures performed. To evaluate the current diagnostic reference level (DRL) for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in stroke patients, we analyzed interventional data from 2019 to 2021 with respect to the reported dose area product (DAP) and factors that might contribute to the radiation dose, such as the localization of the occlusion, technical success using the modified treatment in cerebral ischemia (mTICI) score, number of passages, technical approach, additional intracranial/extracranial stenting, and case volume per center.
resultsA total of 41,538 performed MTs from 180 participating hospitals were analyzed. The median DAP for MT was 7337.5 cGy∙cm
conclusionWe conducted a retrospective study on radiation exposure during MT in Germany. Based on the results of more than 41,000 procedures, we observed that the DRL of 14,000 cGy·cm
