Article in Dose-response : a publication of International Hormesis Society. 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 a recent paper, Allison (Health Phys. 2024) proposed that a daily limit of 2 mGy will adequately protect the general public and radiation workers against any health-threatening effects of ionizing radiation. The 2 mGy/day limit, established at the 1934 Congress of Radiology for radiologists exposed to diagnostic X-rays, is over 500 times that currently recommended by ICRP for the general public. This illustrates the severe over-restrictiveness and irrationality of the present LNT-based system of radiological protection that is recommended by ICRP and NCRP and is legally implemented worldwide. To stimulate further discussion on developing a more rational "post-LNT" system, we indicate and briefly discuss some relevant publications, which also present arguments which could be helpful in managing radiation risk and in reducing public fear of nuclear radiation. Society should then become more willing to accept and appreciate the unique opportunities offered by nuclear technology, especially in health care and energy production.
