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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore the application of 270 mg I/mL iodinated contrast agent with a tube voltage of 100 kV scanning in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).
methodsThis CCTA study was a prospective observational study. The two radiologists were blinded to both patient information and image date arrangement. One-hundred twenty patients (body mass index < 25.0 kg/m(2)) were randomly divided into three groups based on contrast agent concentrations of 370, 320, and 270 mg I/mL, scanning at an injection rate of 5 ml/s. Then, the coronary artery branches of the three groups were compared, and the display rate, mean computed tomography (CT) value, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), image noise, and radiation dose were analyzed.
resultsThe artery display rates of the four main branches of coronaries in the three groups were all 100%, and the difference in the display rates of the remaining small branches in the three groups exhibited no statistical significance (p > 0.05). A comparison of the mean CT value of the coronary artery of three groups in the ascending aorta, descending aorta, left main, left ventricular wall, right coronary artery, left anterior descending, and left circumflex showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). A comparison of the SNR, CNR, image noise, and radiation dose showed no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05).
conclusionsUsing a tube voltage of 100 kV combined with 270 mg I/mL iodinated contrast media in CCTA examination can achieve the "double low dose" effect while ensuring image quality. KEY WORDS: Contrast agent; Contrast to noise ratio; Coronary angiography; Signal noise ratio.
