Contrast medium administration with a body surface area protocol in step-and-shoot coronary computed tomography angiography with dual-source scanners.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. 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
We evaluated the feasibility and image quality of prospective electrocardiography (ECG)-triggered coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) using a body surface area (BSA) protocol for contrast-medium (CM) administration on both second- and third-generation scanners (Flash and Force CT), without using heart rate control. One-hundred-and-eighty patients with suspected coronary heart disease undergoing CCTA were divided into groups A (BSA protocol for CM on Flash CT), B (body mass index (BMI)-matched patients; BMI protocol for CM on Flash CT), and C (BMI-matched patients; BSA protocol for CM on Force CT). Patient characteristics, quantitative and qualitative measures, and radiation dose were compared between groups A and B, and A and C. Of the 180 patients, 99 were male (median age, 62 years). Average BSA in groups A, B, and C was 1.80 ± 0.17 m
