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

purposeTo evaluate the detectability of AKA on aortic computed tomography angiography (CTA) using ultra-high-resolution computed tomography (UHRCT). MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty-eight patients were enrolled. They underwent aortic CTA with UHRCT (UHRCTA) and had previously undergone aortic conventional CTA (CCTA). The injection protocol of UHRCTA was the same as that of CCTA. The bolus tracking technique was used. UHRCTA images were reconstructed with adaptive iterative dose reduction (strong) and with forward-projected model-based iterative reconstruction solution. The matrix size and slice thickness on UHRCT were 1024 and 0.25 mm, respectively, and those on conventional CT were 512 and 0.5 or 0.67 mm, respectively. The UHRCTA and CCTA images were visually compared by using four scales. A score of 4 or 3 indicated that the AKA was assessable. In this instance, the contrast-to-noise ratios of each UHRCTA were measured. The exposure dose and signal-to-noise ratios were also investigated.

resultsThe AKA visualization scores obtained with UHRCTA with forward-projected model-based iterative reconstruction solution were significantly higher than those with adaptive iterative dose reduction (p = 0.018) and CCTA (p = 0.0024).

conclusionUHRCT can contribute to the better visualization of the AKA on aortic CTA.
