Radiation Dose Reduction in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. 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
backgroundCoronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Class Ia diagnostic test for chest pain evaluation, but radiation exposure limits its use. PROJECT RATIONALE: By applying the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's "as low as reasonably achievable" principle and streamlining workflows using patient-specific scanning protocols, radiation dose can be reduced without sacrificing diagnostic accuracy. PROJECT SUMMARY: At The University of Texas Medical Branch satellite campus, we implemented standardized patient-specific computed tomography (CT) scanner protocols with a goal of reducing patient radiation and improving image quality. Comparison of pre- and postintervention scans from 146 patients revealed that the median radiation dose decreased by 63.4% (19.4 vs 7.1 mSv; P < 0.0001), with a greater decrease in women and a higher body mass index-to-dose correlation after intervention. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Standardized, patient-specific protocols for CCTA substantially reduce radiation dose. Implementing effective interventions requires understanding CT scanner capabilities, using vendor support, and maintaining consistent feedback loops between the imaging physician and the CT technologist.
