Review in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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

Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to human health this century. Medical imaging services account for at least 10% of the overall carbon footprint of global healthcare services. Awareness and mitigation of environmental hotspots in interventional radiology (IR) are therefore vital in achieving a more sustainable service. This article adopts a holistic approach, identifying key areas across the entire IR service that have a substantial environmental impact. Despite a limited evidence base, existing IR evidence alongside cross-cutting themes from other specialties are considered to provide recommendations for clinicians and institutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through targeted changes in practice and service delivery. Embedding these measures into routine IR practice can enhance sustainability and support health equity whilst delivering financial and productivity co-benefits.
