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

Computed tomography (CT) is a modern examination method whose radiation characteristics vary depending on the population groups, the part of the body being examined, and other implementation conditions. The use of CT has become increasingly widespread. However, there is a growing concern regarding the harm caused by CT radiation. The opinions regarding whether low-dose CT can induce cancer differ. It is necessary to consider the research population, radiation characteristics, and different parts of the body being exposed to radiation before the application of radiation to ensure the knowledge used is scientifically sound and reasonable. Therefore, different studies have different opinions on whether low-dose CT induces cancer, and not all physicians are aware of this. The present review article aimed to impart relevant insights and a correct understanding of the hazardous effects of low-dose CT radiation on the human body and help physicians reduce unnecessary CT radiation exposure.
