Advantages of 70-kV CT Angiography for the Visualization of the Adamkiewicz Artery: Comparison with 120-kV Imaging.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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 and purposePreprocedural identification of the Adamkiewicz artery is crucial in patients with aortic diseases. This study aimed to compare 70-kV CTA with conventional 120-kV CTA for the identification of the Adamkiewicz artery, examining differences in radiation dose and image quality. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 2 equal groups of 60 patients who had undergone 70-kV or 120-kV CTA to detect the Adamkiewicz artery before aortic repair. Size-specific dose estimate, the CT number of the aorta, and the contrast-to-noise ratio of the anterior spinal artery to the spinal cord were recorded. Furthermore, detectability of the Adamkiewicz artery was evaluated by using a 4-point continuity score (3, definite to 0, undetectable).
resultsThere was significantly lower radiation exposure with 70-kV CTA than 120-kV CTA (median size-specific dose estimate, 23.1 versus 61.3 mGy, respectively;
conclusionsSeventy-kilovolt CTA has substantial advantages for the identification of the Adamkiewicz artery before aortic repair, with a significantly lower radiation exposure and superior image quality than 120-kV CTA.
