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

objectiveThis study was designed to explore the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) scanning in lung compression ratio of patients with pulmonary contusion complicated by pneumothorax or hydropneumothorax.

methodsSeventy-eight patients with pulmonary contusions complicated by pneumothorax or hydropneumothorax treated in the Department of Emergency Surgery of our hospital were examined by CT and X-ray, and the diagnostic value of these two methods was observed. The correlation of lung compression ratio measured by multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) and volume rendering (VR) with W/D ratio was studied, and the formula between VR-measured lung compression ratio and W/D ratio was constructed using a one-variable linear regression equation.

resultsThe diagnostic rate of pulmonary contusions complicated by pneumothorax or hydropneumothorax measured by CT was higher than that by X-ray (P<0.05). Among the patients with pulmonary contusion diagnosed by CT, 45 were localized and 33 were extensive, and there were statistically significant differences in the incidence of comorbid rib fractures (P<0.05). The correlation of lung compression ratio measured by VR with W/D ratio measured by CT was analyzed, and the regression equation of the two was obtained by one-variable linear regression equation analysis: lung compression ratio =1.159* W/D -1.034. VR-measured lung compression ratio measured was positively correlated with W/D ratio (r=0.936, P<0.001).

conclusionCT is superior to X-ray in the diagnosis of pulmonary contusions complicated by pneumothorax or hydropneumothorax. The calculation of lung compression ratio using the formula of lung compression ratio =1.159* W/D -1.034 has certain clinical value and can improve clinical work efficiency.
