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

To investigate the prevalence of nodular pulmonary ossifications (POs) in patients with honeycombing on ultra-high-resolution CT (UHRCT) and to compare the detectability of nodular POs between images reconstructed using the ultra-high-resolution setting (UHR-setting) and those using the conventional setting (C-setting) on UHRCT. Twenty patients with honeycombing in the lung were evaluated retrospectively. All patients underwent non-contrast-enhanced UHRCT. Images were reconstructed with UHR-setting (matrix, 2048 × 2048; slice thickness, 0.25 mm) and with C-setting (matrix size, 512 × 512; slice thickness, 0.5 mm). Two chest radiologists independently recorded the number of nodular POs (< 4 mm diameter) in each lung lobes. Each lobe was classified as one of the following five categories according to the number of POs: C0, none; C1, 1-4 POs; C2, 5-9 POs; C3, 10-49 POs; and C4, ≥ 50 POs. The maximum CT values of the POs were measured and compared between the two settings. PO categories were significantly higher with UHR-setting than with C-setting (p < 0.001). Maximum CT values were significantly higher with UHR-setting than with C-setting (p < 0.001). Nodular POs were seen in 80% or more of patients with honeycombing and more easily detected in images reconstructed with UHR-setting than in those with C-setting.
