Review in Radiologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
backgroundComputed tomography (CT) of the chest is an indispensable tool in pediatric radiology, but it imposes particular challenges.
objectiveThis review article presents a practice-oriented approach to optimizing thoracic CT in children, from clinical indications to technical execution and new technologies. MATERIALS AND
methodsA critical review of relevant scientific publications and guidelines was performed.
resultsOptimizing pediatric chest CT requires strict indications, adaptation of scan parameters (especially tube voltage) to pediatric physiology, and the use of specific protocols (e.g., high resolution CT [HRCT], low-dose CT). Image reconstruction and postprocessing (maximum intensity projection [MIP], minimum intensity projection [MinIP], volume rendering technique [VRT]) are crucial for diagnosis. Dose monitoring using diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) and ADs is essential.w
conclusionRecent developments, particularly photon-counting CT, are discussed regarding their potential to improve image quality and reduce radiation exposure in the context of thoracic imaging.
