Use of low-dose contrast agent in cerebral angiography produces high-quality diagnostic images.

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 present study was aimed to study feasibility of low-dose contrast agent in cerebral CT angiography (CTA) to alleviate some side effects and costs associated with routine doses of contrast agent. Sixty patients suspected to have cerebral artery disease were randomly selected to receive either low-dose (60 mL) contrast agent or routine-dose (100 mL) contrast agent. CTA included transverse images, volume rendering (VR), and maximum intensity projection (MIP) images. Developing strength, image noise, and structure display effects of the cerebral artery were compared between groups. The developing strength and image noise of the cerebral artery were equivalent between groups (P > 0.05). No statistical differences were observed in structure display effects of the cerebral artery or in radiological diagnosis between groups (P > 0.05). Application of the low-dose contrast agent is feasible and offers comparable diagnostic capabilities in cerebral CT angiography.
