Radiation protection in diagnostic radiology.
Article in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
introductionThe use of ionizing radiation is regulated by legislative bodies to limit both individuals' and the population's exposure to radiation. Germany has implemented the European 97/43/EURATOM directive in national law by updating the existing radiation protection regulations. The German Commission on Radiological Protection regularly publishes statements and recommendations on radiation protection in medicine and diagnostic radiology, such as the introduction of diagnostic reference levels and referral guidelines for radiological and nuclear medicine imaging.
methodsReview of selected literature, national and international recommendations and legal texts.
resultsFrom a radiological protection perspective, clear justification for radiological examinations and techniques aimed at minimizing radiation dose while providing the required diagnostic information, are essential. DISCUSSION: Referring doctors should be sure to use existing guidelines for medical imaging, and liaise with radiologists and nuclear medicine specialists, with whom they share the responsibility for choosing appropriate imaging modalities.
