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

Application value of iterative reconstruction with computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in the patients with intractable headache was investigated. One hundred and eighty patients with headache, who were admitted and treated in Cangzhou Central Hospital, were selected to undergo CTA scan. The patients were divided into group A, B and C according to different scanning conditions and data reconstruction techniques. In group A, the scanning parameters were 120 kV and 300 mA, and filtered back projection (FBP) algorithm was used for data reconstruction. In group B, the scan parameters were 100 kV and automatic milliamperes. Further, adaptive iterative dose reduction via three-dimensional processing (AIDR-3D) was used for data reconstruction. In group C, the scan parameters were 80 kV with automatic milliamperes, and AIDR-3D technique was utilized for data reconstruction. The CT value, noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), subjective assessment score of image quality and radiation dose of the three groups of images were compared. There were significant differences in CT values, standard deviation (SD) values, SNRs and CNRs of different vessel segments and muscles among the three groups (P<0.05). The image assessment scores at the levels of the atlas and C7 vertebra as well as those of the brain parenchyma in the three groups had notable differences (P<0.05). However, they showed no differences at the level of the C4 vertebra (P>0.05). Further, significant differences were observed in volume computed tomography dose index (CTDI
