1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo establish an optimized ultralow-dose digital pulsed fluoroscopy (FP) protocol for upper gastrointestinal tract examinations and to investigate the radiation dose and image quality. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn Alderson-Rando-Phantom with 60 thermoluminescent dosimeters was used for dose measurements to systematically evaluate the dose-area product (DAP) and organ doses of the optimized FP protocol with the following acquisition parameters: 86.7 kV; 77 mA; 0.9 mm

resultsPhantom measurements revealed a general dose reduction of approximately 96% per image for the FP protocol as compared to the DR standard. DAP could be reduced by 97%. Significant dose reductions were also found for organ doses, both in the direct and scattered radiation beam with negligible orbital (FP 5.6 × 10

conclusionUltralow-dose FP is feasible for clinical routine allowing a significant reduction of direct and scattered dose exposure while providing sufficient diagnostic image quality for reliable diagnosis.
