Typical Diagnostic Reference Levels of Radiation Exposure on Neonates Under 1 kg in Mobile Chest Imaging in Incubators.
Article in Journal of imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The purpose of this study is to determine the typical diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) of radiation exposure values for chest radiographs in neonates (<1 kg) in mobile imaging at a University Hospital in Greece and compare these values with the existing DRL values from the literature. Patient and dosimetry data, including age, sex, weight, tube voltage (kV), tube current (mA), exposure time (s), exposure index of a digital detector (S), and dose area product (DAP) were obtained from a total of 80 chest radiography examinations performed on neonates (<1 kg and <30 days old). All examinations were performed in a single X-ray system, and all data (demographic and dosimetry data) were collected from the PACS of the hospital. Typical radiation exposure values were determined as the median value of DAP and ESD distribution. Afterward, these typical values were compared with DRL values from other countries. Three radiologists reviewed the images to evaluate image quality for dose optimization in neonatal chest radiography. From all examinations, the mean value and standard deviation of DAP was 0.13 ± 0.11 dGy·cm
