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

Vascular surgery has evolved to include a large proportion of minimally invasive endovascular procedures. These procedures are better tolerated by patients, but can be taxing for the operator with less than adequate ergonomics and high effective radiation doses. Lead aprons do not protect the entire body and cause significant strain on the spine. Traditional lead shields are difficult to adequately position to optimize visualization and operator protection. Novel radiation protection systems provide stable protection for the entire team. Here we present a case using a novel protection system allowing the entire team to operate without traditional lead apron shielding.
