1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: This study aims to evaluate radiation doses to the skin, pelvis, and skull during routine radiographic imaging procedures. Materials and Methods: Entrance skin dose (ESD) was assessed using both direct and indirect methods. Direct measurements were conducted with thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD)-100H TLDs placed on an Alderson RANDO female anthropomorphic phantom. Indirect measurements were obtained using the calibrated output of the X-ray tube. Organ dose estimations were also derived through thermoluminescence dosimetry. Results: Direct measurements yielded ESD values of 0.27 mGy for chest, 2.36 mGy for pelvis, and 2.54 mGy for skull radiography. Corresponding values from the indirect method were 0.26 mGy, 2.29 mGy, and 2.43 mGy, respectively. Conclusions: The radiation dose levels obtained are consistent with the national diagnostic reference levels in Iran. These findings support the ongoing optimization of radiographic practices in alignment with the as low as reasonably achievable principle.
