Characterization of optically stimulated luminescence dosimetry using NaCl pellets in breast x-ray imaging.
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
In this study, NaCl pellets read with optically stimulated luminescence were evaluated for their potential use as a point dosemeter in breast x-ray imaging. Dosimetry with NaCl pellets has previously been applied to various environmental and medical settings. NaCl pellets have potential in clinical breast dosimetry because they can enable multiple point measurements to be simultaneously conducted in a cost- and time-efficient manner. Using two digital mammography imaging systems, the air kerma response of the NaCl pellets for a standard breast setup was investigated. The air kerma response was observed to be linear, and mathematical fits were successfully used to estimate the cumulative incident air kerma during digital breast tomosynthesis. Deviations from a reference digital dosemeter were 6% and 8% for the two mammography systems, respectively. Measurements conducted at different angles of exposure showed that the NaCl pellets had no angular dependency in the range ± 15°. Finally, the uniformity of the beams was confirmed to avoid possible errors due to the uncertainty of the dosemeters' positions in the exposure field.
