Multicentre survey on patient dose in paediatric imaging and proposal for updated diagnostic reference levels for France. Part 1: computed tomography.
Article in European radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectivesTo report on a dose survey conducted by the French societies of radiology and paediatric imaging (SFR and SFIPP) and the French public service expert in nuclear and radiological risks (IRSN), and to suggest new diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for paediatric CT.
methodsDose reports concerning children aged 0-15 years and five CT procedures (brain, petrous bone, mediastinum, lung and abdomen-pelvis) performed in 2015-2016 were collected from 15 imaging departments on a voluntary basis. Volume CT dose index (CTDI
resultsResults from 3253 CT examinations were obtained. The exposure levels observed were much lower than for the previous surveys (2007-2008 and 2010-2013) and among the lowest values currently published. A good homogeneity between facilities was also observed. New DRLs are proposed for each procedure and age group.
conclusionsThis new survey contributes to the continuing optimisation process in French paediatric CT practice. Its results have been recently used to update the national paediatric CT DRLs. KEY POINTS: • New national diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are proposed for several paediatric CT procedures. • The DRLs proposed for brain, chest and abdomen-pelvis procedures are among the lowest published worldwide.
