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

purposeFlat-detector computed tomography (FD-CT) is the standard for cochlear implant (CI) imaging. FD-CT systems differ in technical characteristics. Our aim was an evaluation of two different FD-CT generations with different protocols and hardware regarding image quality, radiation dose, and scan time.

methodsTwo temporal bone specimens (- / + CI = TB

resultsTwo HS-FD-CT protocols (14 s/9 s) provide higher or equivalent diagnostic information regarding CI- and cochlea-specific parameters compared to both standard FD-CT protocols. The fastest HS-FD-CT protocol (7 s)-providing inferior diagnostic information compared to all other FD-CT protocols-still exceeds MS-CT. The highest DLP was recorded for the 14 s HS-FD-CT protocol (TB

conclusionHigh-speed FD-CT improves visualization of temporal bone anatomy and postoperative assessment of CIs by combining excellent image quality, fast scan time, and reasonable radiation exposure.
