Practical approach to measuring vessels and reporting z-scores in children.
Review 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
Heart size and vessel diameters naturally increase with a child's growth, development, and needs. Measuring the size of blood vessels and tracking their growth have become a common practice among pediatric imaging specialists. Practitioners use tools like z-scores to standardize measurements against reference values that account for age, sex, and/or body size and habitus and help determine if vascular measurements deviate from what is expected in a healthy population. In this article, we review measurement techniques of significant vascular regions of interest in children covering "how to measure," "where to measure," and "sources of measurement errors." We also go over the concept of reporting z-scores in children with a review of the available literature and commonly used pediatric z-score calculators.
