A Novel Quantitative Computer-Assisted Score Can Improve Repeatability in the Estimate of Vascular Calcifications at the Abdominal Aorta.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
In CKD and in the elderly, Vascular Calcifications (VC) are associated to cardiovascular events and bone fractures. VC scores at the abdominal aorta (AA) from lateral spine radiographs are widely applied (the 0-24 semiquantitative discrete visual score (SV) being the most used). We hypothesised that a novel continuum score based on quantitative computer-assisted tracking of calcifications (QC score) can improve the precision of the SV score. This study tested the repeatability and reproducibility of QC score and SV score. In forty-four patients with VC from an earlier study, five experts from four specialties evaluated the data twice using a dedicated software. Test-retest was performed on eight subjects. QC results were reported in a 0-24 scale to readily compare with SV. The QC score showed higher intra-operator repeatability: the 95% CI of Bland-Altman differences was almost halved in QC; intra-operator R
