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

backgroundTo investigate the repeatability and accuracy of quantitative CT (QCT) measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) by low-mAs using iterative model reconstruction (IMR) technique based on phantom model.

methodsEuropean spine phantom (ESP) was selected and measured on the Philips Brilliance iCT Elite FHD machine for 10 times. Data were transmitted to the QCT PRO workstation to measure BMD (mg/cm

resultsRadiation dose [volume CT dose index (CTDI

conclusionsRepeated measurements of BMD with QCT in the ESP multicenter showed that BMD changes in L1-L3 are the least varied at IMR [2] algorithm. It is recommended to scan at 120 kV with 20 mAs combined with IMR [2] algorithm. In this way, the BMD of spine by QCT could be accurately measured, while radiation dosage significantly reduced and imaging quality improved at the same time.
