Usefulness of Virtual Expiratory CT Images to Compensate for Respiratory Liver Motion in Ultrasound/CT Image Fusion: A Prospective Study in Patients with Focal Hepatic Lesions.

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
objectiveTo assess whether virtual expiratory (VE)-computed tomography (CT)/ultrasound (US) fusion imaging is more effective than conventional inspiratory (CI)-CT/US fusion imaging for hepatic interventional procedures. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective study was approved by the Institutional Review Board, and informed consent was obtained from each patient. In total, 62 patients with focal hepatic lesions referred for hepatic interventional procedures were enrolled. VE-CT images were generated from CI-CT images to reduce the effects of respiration-induced liver motion. The two types of CT images were fused with real-time US images for each patient. The operators scored the visual similarity with the liver anatomy upon initial image fusion and the summative usability of complete image fusion using the respective five-point scales. The time required for complete image fusion and the number of point locks used were also compared.
resultsIn comparison with CI-CT/US fusion imaging, VE-CT/US fusion imaging showed significantly higher visual similarity with the liver anatomy on the initial image fusion (mean score, 3.9 vs. 1.7;
conclusionVE-CT/US fusion imaging is more effective than CI-CT/US fusion imaging for hepatic interventional procedures.
