Radiation Reduction in Paediatric Cardiac Catheterization: We Can Go Even Lower.
Article in CJC pediatric and congenital heart disease, 2024. 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
Background: Radiation reduction is an integral component in the management of a paediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory. Simple and easily implementable protocol changes and technical upgrades have been shown to significantly reduce radiation exposure. Methods: Radiation exposures (2020-2022) at Safra Children's Hospital, Sheba Medical Center, Israel (unit A: n = 672) were retrospectively reviewed, including dose area product (DAP) (μGy m Results: Exposure was significantly lower in unit A in 14 of 16 procedure types. Total median doses were lower in unit A (DAP: 91.4 [44.7-205.4] vs 387 [138.2-1339] μGy m Conclusions: Enhanced radiation reduction techniques can lead to lower than previously published exposure levels across a wide range of procedure types when employing dose-limiting protocols and radiation reduction technology.
