[Chest X-rays in children and adolescents : Indications and limitations].
Review in Der Radiologe, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
clinical issueChest X‑ray is the most commonly performed X‑ray examination in children and adolescents. The aim of this review is to present the benefit of this radiologic modality, but also its limitations.
methodsCompared with older children, most X‑ray examinations of the chest were performed in newborns. After the neonatal period, this review focusses on the diagnosis of inflammatory pulmonary changes, foreign body aspiration, detection of pulmonary nodules, and cystic fibrosis. METHODOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS: The radiation exposure of X‑ray examinations is continuously decreasing due to technical innovations. However, other imaging modalities were also continuously being optimized; therefore, alternatives without radiation exposure, i.e., magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and ultrasound, should be considered in case of specific clinical indications. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATION: Even if the diagnostic performance of chest X‑ray examinations is often minor compared to computed tomography or MRI, chest X‑ray still has a high value in children and adolescents, due to its ubiquitous availability and the relatively simple acquisition.
