Radiation Exposure in Elective Endovascular Carotid Artery Stenting.
Article in Clinical neuroradiology, 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
objectivesTo systematically assess radiation exposure during elective carotid artery stenting (CAS) for symptomatic extracranial carotid stenosis at a high-volume centre and to generate data that support optimization of both radiation dose and procedural workflow, thereby providing a basis for future multicentre studies aimed at establishing diagnostic reference levels.
methodsDemographic (age, gender, BMI), procedural (balloon dilatations, procedure time), dosimetric (dose-area product [DAP], fluoroscopy time, number of acquisition series), anatomical, and interventionalist-related factors were retrospectively analysed in 109 patients undergoing CAS on a biplane flat-panel system using a standardized workflow and dedicated low-dose protocol. Nonparametric statistics were applied; p < 0.05 was considered significant.
resultsMean total DAP was 3342.12 ± 1679.36 cGy·cm
conclusionsElective CAS can be performed with low radiation exposure using standardized workflows and low-dose imaging. Radiation exposure is influenced by patient characteristics, procedural factors, and interventionalist experience. These data may provide a foundation for future multicentre studies aimed at establishing DRLs and optimizing dose-reduction strategies in neuroendovascular practice.
