Patient knowledge and acceptance of radiation safety measures correlated to actual exposure records: A survey study.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
With the growing prevalence of the use of ionising radiation as a method of medical imaging, it is important to promote patient involvement in the effect of ionising radiation and its relation to medical imaging. Therefore, it is of interest to assess knowledge and acceptance of radiation safety practices amongst 255 adult patients and to compare the results of this survey to patients recorded exposure to radiation. The survey indicated that only 38% of respondents had a high level of understanding of radiation safety practices and only 42% accepted all recommended practices. Patients in the study experienced a mean exposure dose of 4.2 ± 1.8 mSv. Patients with higher levels of knowledge and acceptance of radiation safety practices were associated with less exposure to radiation (p < 0.05) and also predicted decreased exposure to radiation after multivariable adjustment (p < 0.05). Thus, if there is increased structured patient education, this will likely result in better patient compliance with safe use of ionising radiation and will help to optimise radiation exposure.
