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

Combined angiography-CT (angio-CT) systems, which combine traditional angiographic imaging with cross-sectional imaging, are a valuable tool for interventional radiology. Although cone-beam CT (CBCT) technology from flat-panel angiography systems has been established as an adjunct cross-sectional imaging tool during interventional procedures, the intrinsic advantages of angio-CT systems concerning superior soft-tissue imaging and contrast resolution, along with operational ease, have sparked renewed interest in their use in interventional oncology procedures. Owing to increases in affordability and usability due to an improved workflow, angio-CT systems have become a viable alternative to stand-alone flat-panel angiographic systems equipped with CBCT. This review aims to provide a comprehensive technical and clinical guide for the use of angio-CT systems in interventional oncology. The basic concepts related to the use of angio-CT systems, including concepts related to workflow setup, imaging characteristics, and acquisition parameters, will be discussed. Additionally, an overview on the clinical applications and the benefits of angio-CT systems in routine therapeutic and palliative interventional oncology procedures will be reviewed.
