Computed tomographic colonography with a reduced dose of laxative using a novel barium sulfate contrast agent in Japan.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo test the tagging efficacy, patient acceptability, and accuracy of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) with a reduced dose of laxative using a novel barium sulfate (BaSO MATERIALS AND
methodsCTC followed by optical colonoscopy (OC) was performed on 73 patients with positive results in fecal occult blood tests. They were administrated a BaSO
resultsTagging efficacy was good in 77.3% of colonic segments where residue was observed. The acceptability of bowel preparation for CTC was significantly higher than that for OC. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 0.778, 0.945, 0.824, and 0.929, respectively. All lesions ≥ 7 mm were successfully detected by CTC.
