Low-Dose Scanning Technology Combined with Low-Concentration Contrast Material in Renal Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA): A Preliminary Study.

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
BACKGROUND This study is to investigate the feasibility of low iodine concentration contrast material (CM) combined with low tube voltage and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) in renal computed tomography angiography (CTA). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 136 patients were enrolled in this prospective trial, and randomly divided into two groups: group A (n=68) and group B (n=68). Group A received 120-kVp and iopromide (370 mg/mL) with filtered back projection (FBP) reconstruction, and group B received 100-kVp and iodixanol (270 mg/mL) with ASIR 40% (ASIR40). An equal iodine dose (300 mg/kg body weight) and the same iodine delivery rate (1,500 mg I/s) were given to all patients. Density, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were measured, and the image quality and visualization of renal arteries were scored. Dose-length product (DLP) and CT dose index volume (CTDIvol) were recorded, and effective doses (ED) were calculated. RESULTS There was no significant difference in image noise between groups A and B (p>0.05). The vessel attenuation, SNR, and CNR were significantly higher in group B than group A (all p<0.05). The subjective image quality and visualization of renal artery branches were similar in these two groups (p>0.05). Compared with group A, the CTDIvol, DLP, and ED in group B were decreased by 38.58%, 37.24%, and 37.24%, respectively (p=0.000). CONCLUSIONS Compared with 120-kVp with FBP reconstruction, the protocol of 100-kVp with ASIRP40 reconstruction provided high-quality renal CTA results, which allowed for reduced iodine concentration and decreased radiation dose.
