Comparison of estimated and calculated fetal radiation dose for a pregnant woman who underwent computed tomography and conventional X-ray examinations based on a phantom study.
Article in Radiological physics and technology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This study aimed to determine the mean fetal doses for patients who underwent computed tomography (CT) and/or conventional X-ray (CXR) examinations. In addition to developing an approach to estimate the fetal dose based on data registered in the picture archive and communication system (PACS), the radiation doses for pregnant women and their fetuses were estimated using the VirtualDoseCT and VirtualDoseIR softwares. To verify the data, the fetal dose was measured using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) implanted at different uterus sites of an anthropomorphic pregnant phantom. Calculated fetal dose values were estimated in relation to the dose-area product (DAP) and volume CT dose index (CTDI
