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
Objective: To explore the accuracy and image quality of wide-detector revolution CT angiography combined with prospective ECG-triggered CT angiography in the diagnosis of congenital aortic arch anomalies in Chinese children. Methods: From January 2020 to July 2022, the clinical data of 57 children with congenital aortic arch anomalies confirmed by surgery were collected. All patients underwent CT angiography (CTA) with Revolution CT and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) before the operation. The accuracy of CTA and TTE in the diagnosis of aortic arch anomalies was compared with the surgical results. Result: The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of CTA and TTE for congenital aortic arch anomalies (including intracardiac and extracardiac structural abnormalities) were 92.2% and 85.5%, 99.4%, and 99.1%, 97.4% and 95.6%, 98.1% and 96.9%, and 97.2% and 95.2%, respectively. Regarding extracardiac structural malformations, the sensitivity of CTA was 100%, whereas that of TTE was 78.6% ( Conclusion: Wide-detector revolution CT angiography combined with prospective ECG triggering can be routinely used to assess congenital aortic arch anomalies, providing adequate image quality and high diagnostic accuracy. However, limitations in the identification of intracardiac structural abnormalities are noted.
