Optimizing radiation dose and image quality in neonatal mobile radiography.
Article in Radiation protection dosimetry, 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
Children are more susceptible to radiation exposure than adults. Therefore, determining an appropriate radiation dose requires balancing and minimizing radiation exposure while maintaining image quality (IQ) for accurate diagnosis. We evaluated the optimal radiation dose parameters for neonatal chest and abdominal mobile radiography by assessing entrance surface dose and IQ indices. A range of exposure parameters was tested on neonatal and acrylic phantoms, and the optimal settings were determined through visual and physical evaluations. Overall, 65 kVp and 1.2 mAs provided the best balance between minimizing radiation exposure and maintaining high IQ for neonates. This study offers essential insights into optimizing radiographic conditions for neonatal care, contributing to safe and effective radiological practices. These optimized parameters can help guide future clinical applications by ensuring reduced radiation risk and enhanced diagnostic accuracy.
