Low kV and Low Concentration Contrast Agent with Iterative Reconstruction of Computed Tomography (CT) Coronary Angiography: A Preliminary Study.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05831943 (Low Tube Voltage Kidney Computed Tomography Using Low Concentration Iodine Contrast Agent), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the image quality and radiation dose of CT coronary angiography (CTCA) with low kV, low concentration contrast agent, and iterative reconstruction. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety cases were randomly divided into 3 groups according to contrast agent concentration: group A 270 mg/ml (100 kV), group B 350 mg/ml (120 kV), and group C 370 mg/ml (120 kV), with 30 cases per group. Tube current was 200-250 mAs. Collimator width was 128×0.6 mm. Rotation speed was 0.27 s. The CT value of the left and right coronary arteries and the ascending aortic root was measured. The SNR and CNR of the images were calculated to evaluate the image quality objectively. The CTDI, DLP, and contrast injection were recorded. RESULTS There were no significant differences in sex, age, weight, height, and BMI among the 3 groups. There was no statistically significant difference between left and right coronary artery and ascending aortic root CT value, background noise, SNR, and CNR. Compared to B and C, the ED in group A decreased by about 27.58% and 28.21%, respectively. The total amount of iodine in group A was decreased by about 21.27% and 24.83%, respectively compared with groups B and C. CONCLUSIONS Low kV and low concentration contrast agent combined with iterative reconstruction for CTCA imaging produced image quality consistent with that of conventional CTCA and significantly reduced the dosage of the radiation and injected iodine.
