Effective Dose Estimations for the Swiss Survey on Medical Radiation Exposure of the Population in 2023.
Article in Health physics, 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
To estimate the annual population dose from medical examinations, the frequency of the examinations and the effective dose (E) for each examination needs to be estimated. In the last Swiss survey covering 2023, the dose per capita due to medical irradiation was estimated to be 1.7 mSv. In the framework of the 2023 survey, the E for x-rays' modalities were calculated using different methods (bibliographic review, data from a dose management system, data from older surveys, etc.). This work aims to present the methodology followed for the estimation of E for various modalities. E was estimated for approximately 60 radiological examinations and groups of examinations. The advantages and limitations for each method are discussed.
