X-ray Doses in Relation to Body Mass, Indication, and Substrate During Pediatric Electrophysiological Procedures on the Heart.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2024. 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
The main goal of this study is to determine typical values of dose area product (DAP) and difference in the effective dose (ED) for pediatric electrophysiological procedures on the heart in relation to patient body mass. This paper also shows DAP and ED in relation to the indication, the arrhythmia substrate determined during the procedure, and in relation to the reason for using radiation. Organ doses are described as well. The subjects were children who have had an electrophysiological study done with a 3D mapping system and X-rays in two healthcare institutions. Children with congenital heart defects were excluded. There were 347 children included. Significant difference was noted between mass groups, while heavier children had higher values of DAP and ED. Median DAP in different mass groups was between 4.00 (IQR 1.00-14.00) to 26.33 (IQR 8.77-140.84) cGycm
