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

backgroundUnoptimized coronary CT angiography (CTA) exams typically result in a highly variable arterial enhancement (HU

methodsFirst, the optimal body size metric to predict HU

resultsFat free mass (FFM) showed the highest correlation with HU

conclusionA contrast injection model, based on patient's fat free mass and accounting for the contrast agent concentration and the planned CT-scan tube voltage, harmonized arterial enhancement among patients towards a predefined target enhancement in coronary CTA scanning, without affecting the bolus timing.
