Development of a headgear-based eye protection device for physicians performing fluoroscopy-guided bronchoscopy.
Article in Journal of radiation research, 2025. 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
Fluoroscopy-guided bronchoscopy is an essential tool for diagnosing and treating lung diseases, particularly lung cancer. However, prolonged fluoroscopic exposure raises concerns regarding radiation-induced lens injuries in physicians, such as radiation cataracts. In response to the International Commission on Radiological Protection lowering the occupational lens dose limit to an average of 20 mSv/year over 5 years, there is an increasing need for effective lens protection during such procedures. This study has aimed to develop a novel lens protection device specifically designed for bronchoscopy physicians and evaluate its protective performance through a phantom study. The device consisted of a 0.175 mm lead (Pb) sheet positioned on the left side of the physician's head, secured with headgear to improve stability and comfort during prolonged use. A phantom study was conducted using a trunk phantom to simulate a patient and a head phantom to simulate a physician. The scattered radiation doses were measured at 15 locations on the phantom head using a radiophotoluminescence glass dosimeter, both with and without a protective device. The device demonstrated a protective effect of more than 80% for the left eye across all tested angles, whereas the right eye showed protection ranging from approximately 40% to 75% depending on the angle. This novel lens protection device has the potential to significantly reduce scattered radiation to the left eye while minimizing vision obstruction and discomfort. This offers a practical solution for radiation protection during bronchoscopy and may be applicable to other interventional procedures requiring fluoroscopic guidance.
