Clinical Indication-Based Pediatric Diagnostic Reference Level Values for Abdominal Computed Tomography: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Computed tomography (CT) poses a concern in pediatric patients because of their higher sensitivity to radiation. At the time of the study, nephroblastoma was the most prevalent clinical indication for abdominal CT examinations in pediatric patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish pediatric typical diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for contrast-enhanced abdominal CT examinations of pediatric patients presenting with nephroblastoma. Methods: The volume CT dose index (CTDI Results: Diagnostic reference level values were only established for two weight groups that adhered to the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) guidelines. The DRL values for CTDI Conclusion: For efficient dose optimization, clinical indication, body weight, and SSDE should be considered when developing pediatric DRL values. Future optimization strategies will benefit from adapting patient size and clinical indication as suggested and supported by the findings of this study.
