Figure 8:

Comparison of radiation dose between coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and standard of care (SOC) arms. Forest plot shows the mean difference (MD) of radiation dose in millisieverts for CCTA arms compared with SOC arms in participants with acute chest pain, stratified by group (group 1 = low-to-intermediate risk for acute coronary syndrome [ACS] and group 2 = high risk for ACS). The overall MD was 3.56 (95% CI: -0.19, 7.31). The size of central markers reflects the weight of each study. While all studies are listed, some of them have not studied all outcomes, which explains the missing values.
