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

purposeSome patients with spinal muscular atrophy and scoliosis require CT guidance during injections of nusinersen. The radiation applied to the operator in such procedures becomes an important issue in terms of staff health and safety. The aim of the study was to assess the operator's radiation exposure during CT-guided nusinersen injections in patients with spinal muscular atrophy and scoliosis.

methodsConsecutive 40 CT-guided nusinersen injections were analyzed in terms of operator's radiation exposure measured in real time.

resultsThe median radiation dose measured under the physician's lead apron and patient dose in terms of DLP was 0.20 µSv and 31.90 mGy*cm respectively. The radiation doses were significantly higher (p = 0.047) in patients with spinal instrumentation.

conclusionThe results show that CT-guided nusinersen injection is a relatively safe procedure in terms of operator's radiation exposure. This can allow for interventional radiologists to perform more procedures without exceeding their annual dose limit.
