The environmental impact of diagnostic imaging: opportunities for pediatric radiologists.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Healthcare operations are a major contributor to human-produced greenhouse gas emissions worldwide and in the USA in particular. Medical imaging, largely due to its high energy use requirements, disproportionately contributes to healthcare's negative environmental impacts. Although there has been growing concern about radiology's role in climate change, most existing knowledge of radiology's impact derives from adult radiology departments. Pediatric radiologists, however, have compelling reasons to consider and work to reduce our specialty's contributions to climate change: our pediatric patients are uniquely vulnerable to the negative effects of climate change and face wide-ranging impacts to their overall health and well-being. The aim of this manuscript is to review the major environmental impacts from radiology and to highlight potential areas for improvement.
