Climate resilient and environmentally sustainable radiology: a framework for implementation.
Review in Radiology advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Climate change adversely impacts human health and transformations in our approach to work are needed to build environmentally sustainable and climate resilient radiology systems. Radiology practices must reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated in the delivery of care while simultaneously building infrastructure and processes to anticipate, respond to, and recover from climate-related environmental events. The purpose of this review is to highlight the links between climate change, human health, and radiology; discuss mitigation, adaptation, and response approaches; describe opportunities to leverage existing knowledge such as pandemic planning and supply chain management; and develop a radiology resilience checklist to assess vulnerabilities and inform actions necessary to achieve environmentally sustainable and climate resilient practices. The proposed framework is based on 5 pillars of climate resilience capacity-threshold, coping, recovery, adaptive, and transformative. Key actions include increasing awareness of the health impacts of climate change, optimizing infrastructure, improving supply chain management, reducing energy use, and addressing health disparities through collaboration with stakeholders. These strategies are needed to reduce the environmental impact radiology service delivery, prepare for and minimize the effects of climate change on imaging departments, and build capacity to recover quickly from climate-related environmental impacts, ultimately improving planetary health and human well-being.
