Principles of radiological protection and application of ALARA, ALADA, and ALADAIP: a critical review.
Review in Brazilian oral research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 carried out a critical review of the principles of radioprotection, including the ALARA, ALADA, and ALADAIP principles. The Google Scholar and PubMed databases were the search resources, and the following keywords were searched: Linear No-Threshold (LNT); Biologic Effects of Ionizing Radiation (BEIR VII); As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA); As Low As Diagnostically Acceptable (ALADA); As Low As Diagnostically Acceptable, being Indication-oriented and Patient-specific (ALADAIP). This critical review included studies with historical references, reviews, position papers, and clinical and experimental studies. Regarding data extraction, only original articles were selected after the screening process. Much of the current evolution of X-ray machines and radioprotection protocols has stemmed from legitimate concerns about this topic. This development has grown out of the relevant work of organizations like ICRP, UNSCEAR, and other renowned international organizations. Low doses of radiation, such as those used for diagnosis, also occur naturally and are present in everyday life. Although there is no agreement on the actual risk involving low doses, the recommendations of ALARA, ALADA, and ALADAIP prevail, in line with the trend to uphold principles that balance the importance of X-ray diagnostic imaging with the intention of keeping the doses as low as possible. The benefits of X-ray exams, when justified, tend to outweigh the low risks attributed to them.
