Impact of breast implant presence and type on mean glandular dose calculations.
Article in Polish journal of radiology, 2026. 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
Purpose: Breast cancer remains the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women, making mammography a vital tool for its early detection. However, the increasing prevalence of breast augmentation raises concerns about the accuracy of radiation dose estimation during mammography. Material and methods: This study investigates the impact of breast implants on mean glandular dose (MGD) calculations in mammography using Monte Carlo simulations. The research uses the GATE simulation framework to model different implant types (saline, silicone, and adipose tissue) to evaluate their influence on the conversion factors used to determine MGD. Results: The results indicate that the standard conversion factors, derived for non-augmented breasts, may not accurately reflect MGD in augmented breasts. Conclusions: The study highlights the need for tailored conversion factors to ensure precise radiation dose estimation in women with implants, ultimately improving individualized mammography protocols.
