Can Patient's Body Weight Represent Body Diameter for Pediatric Size-Specific Dose Estimate in Thoracic and Abdominal Computed Tomography?
Article in Journal of clinical imaging science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveThe objective of the study was to determine whether body weight (BW) can be substituted for body diameters to calculate size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) in the children. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 196 torso computed tomography (CT) studies were retrospectively reviewed. Anteroposterior diameter (D
resultsOverall BW was more strongly correlated with body diameter (
conclusionBW can be used instead of body diameter to calculate all SSDE types, with our suggested best accuracy for SSDE KEY MESSAGES: Size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a new and accurate dose-estimating parameter for the individual patient which is based on the actual size or body diameter of the patient. BW can be an important alternative for all body diameters to estimate size-specific dose or calculate SSDE in children.
