Radiation Dose Management in Computed Tomography: Introduction to the Practice at a Single Facility.
Article in Tomography (Ann Arbor, Mich.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Although the clinical benefits of computed tomography (CT) are undoubtedly high, radiation doses received by patients are also relatively high; therefore, radiation dose management is mandatory to optimize CT radiation doses and prevent excessive radiation events. This article describes CT dose management practice at a single facility. Many imaging protocols are used in CT depending on the clinical indications, scan region, and CT scanner; thus, managing the protocols is the first step for optimization. The appropriateness of the radiation dose for each protocol and scanner is verified, while answering whether the dose is the minimum to obtain diagnostic-quality images. Moreover, examinations with exceptionally high doses are identified, and the cause and clinical validity of the high dose are assessed. Daily imaging practice should follow standardized procedures, avoiding operator-dependent errors, and information required for radiation dose management should be recorded at each examination. The imaging protocols and procedures are reviewed for continuous improvement based on regular dose analysis and multidisciplinary team collaboration. The participation of many staff members in the dose management process is expected to contribute to promoting radiation safety through increased staff awareness.
