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
Background: It's clinically relevant to reduce the radiation dose to children while ensuring their positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) image quality. The optimal protocol for whole-body PET/CT imaging in children (non-model) has been less studied. In this study, we investigated the optimal protocol for PET/CT imaging of pediatric oncology by analyzing the radiation dose and image quality in18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ( Methods: One hundred children with tumors who underwent Results: Ninety-seven images in CT and 57 images in PET were included. The best quality of CT images was in group K (120 kV/40-59 mA/8); there are 9 groups had good image quality and lower dose length product (DLP) than group K (SD ±10), while the difference in DLP between groups was large. The Kruskal-Wallis (K-W) test showed that the difference in image quality between the 9 groups was not statistically significant. The best PET image quality was in group i [0.15 (mCi/kg)/180 s]; there are four groups had good image quality and lower ED Conclusions: The optimal protocols for CT scanning and PET imaging in this experiment were group H (80 kV/40-59 mA/14) and group g [0.08 (mCi/kg)/180 s], respectively.
