Establishing local diagnostic reference levels for pediatric percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography interventions and optimizing the routine practice.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundLiver-transplanted, immunosuppressed pediatric patients undergoing repeated percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) require optimized exposure to ionizing radiation.
objectiveTo establish local diagnostic reference levels (DRL) for pediatric PTC and investigate the routine use of X-ray equipment. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study retrospectively analyzed data collected between October 2016 and June 2018 from a single center performing PTC. We collected exposure parameters including kerma area product (P
resultsThe analysis included 162 PTC procedures performed in 64 children: 58% male, average age 6 years (range 39 days to 16 years) and weight 24 kg (range 3-60 kg). Local DRLs for weight groups 0-5 kg, 5-15 kg, 15-30 kg, 30-50 kg and 50-80 kg were, respectively, 6 cGy.cm
conclusionWe established local DRLs for children undergoing PTC.
