State of original pediatric radiology research in major radiology journals other than Pediatric Radiology.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundUnderstanding distribution of published pediatric imaging research in radiology journals is relevant to understanding the state of research in the field.
objectiveTo understand the current state of published original pediatric imaging research in major clinical radiology journals other than Pediatric Radiology. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe reviewed clinical imaging journals from among the top 20 radiology journals according to the Google Scholar h5-index as of June 2024. Content pages were reviewed for the years 2019-2023 to identify pediatric original research. Study titles were reviewed to subclassify by pediatric subspecialty. The number of citations for each pediatric article and for all articles in the journal was documented, and a citation to article ratio was calculated. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess differences in citation to article ratio.
resultsNine journals and 636 pediatric articles were included. The fraction of pediatric studies in each journal ranged from 0.9% (12/1,310) to 15.3% (244/1,594) (median 2.2% [88/3,983]). Pediatric neuroimaging studies were the most common (46.4% [295/636] of all pediatric studies, 23.2% [91/392] of pediatric studies in journals other than American Journal of Neuroradiology). The citation to article ratio for pediatric articles ranged from 3.3 to 25.2 across journals. Overall, the citation to article ratio for pediatric studies was not significantly different from non-pediatric studies (P=0.12).
conclusionPediatric research makes up a small fraction of original research in major clinical radiology journals, with neuroimaging reflecting the bulk of published work. The average number of citations per pediatric article is similar to that of non-pediatric articles.
