The value of X-ray digital tomosynthesis in the diagnosis of urinary calculi.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Urinary calculus is a common and recurrent condition that affects kidney function. The present study evaluated the use of digital tomosynthesis (DTS) and Kidneys-Ureters-Bladder (KUB) radiography as methods of diagnosing urinary calculi. Unenhanced multidetector computed tomography (UMDCT) was used in the diagnosis of calculi. KUB radiography and DTS procedures were conducted on patients prior to and following bowel preparation to detect kidney, ureteral and bladder calculi. Differences in diagnostic performance of KUB radiography and DTS imaging on prepared and unprepared bowel were evaluated using the χ
