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

Transporting pediatric patients with severe cardiovascular complications to the fluoroscopy room can be difficult. Therefore, we started using a portable imaging device with a flat panel detector (FPD) for nasojejunal tube (NJT) placement. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in length of time of NJT placement and dosage of radiation exposure using a portable imaging device with FPD versus fluoroscopy. Pediatric patients who underwent NJT placement between April 2016 and December 2018 were identified retrospectively from the clinical records. The age, sex, body weight, and height of each child at the time of the procedure as well as the procedure time, outcomes of the procedure, and dosage of radiation exposure was compared between the two groups. In 76 cases of NJT placement (41 patients), there was no significant difference in the success rate of NJT placement between the FPD (90%) and fluoroscopy groups (95%). However, the NJT placement time was significantly longer in the FPD group than in the fluoroscopy group (488 s vs 291 s). According to our calculations, the radiation dosage was lower in the FPD group than in the fluoroscopy group (136 μGy per procedure vs 2819 μGy per procedure). These results suggest that NJT placement using a portable imaging device with an FPD can be an effective method for children who are difficult to transport with an equal success rate and lower dosage of radiation exposure compared with conventional fluoroscopy.
