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

purposeSince the initial edition of this Guideline was published in 2010, it has become increasingly clear that occupational protection involves more than just radiation protection. Additionally, radiation exposure to operators and staff occurs from sources other than fluoroscopy. This Guideline has been updated to incorporate these topics and to reflect new information on occupational protection in interventional radiology.

methodsThe CIRSE Standards of Practice Committee, in conjunction with SIR, established a writing panel of twelve clinicians, medical physics experts, and others with internationally recognised expertise in occupational protection in interventional radiology. The writing panel identified regulations, guidelines, and radiation protection documents from international and national sources, including governments, radiation protection organizations, and professional associations. Additionally, the writing panel performed a pragmatic search on PubMed for relevant studies published in English between 2011 and 2025. The final recommendations were developed by consensus.

resultsThe revised Guideline provides advice and guidance to physicians, radiographers, nurses, medical physics experts, and all other staff involved in interventional radiology. It also includes an online-only Annex with additional, in-depth coverage of several of the included topics.
