Diagnostic accuracy of ultra-low-dose CT compared to standard-dose CT for identification of non-displaced fractures of the shoulder, knee, ankle, and wrist.
Article in Insights into imaging, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo compare the performance of ultra-low-dose computed tomography (ULD-CT) with standard-dose computed tomography (SD-CT) for the diagnosis of non-displaced fractures of the shoulder, knee, ankle, and wrist.
methodsThis prospective study enrolled 92 patients receiving conservative treatment for limb joint fractures who underwent SD-CT followed by ULD-CT at a mean interval of 8.85 ± 1.98 days. Fractures were characterized as displaced or non-displaced. Objective (signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio) and subjective CT image quality were evaluated. Observer performance for ULD-CT and SD-CT detecting non-displaced fractures was estimated by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (A
resultsThe effective dose (ED) for the ULD-CT protocol was significantly lower than the ED for the SD-CT protocol (F = 422.21~2112.25, p < 0.0001); 56 patients (65 fractured bones) had displaced fractures, and 36 patients (43 fractured bones) had non-displaced fractures. Two non-displaced fractures were missed by SD-CT. Four non-displaced fractures were missed by ULD-CT. Objective and subjective CT image quality was significantly improved for SD-CT compared to ULD-CT. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and diagnostic accuracy of SD-CT and ULD-CT for non-displaced fractures of the shoulder, knee, ankle and wrist were similar: 95.35% and 90.70%; 100% and 100%; 100% and 100%; 99.72% and 99.44%; and 99.74% and 99.47%, respectively. The A
conclusionULD-CT has utility for the diagnosis of non-displaced fractures of the shoulder, knee, ankle, and wrist and can support clinical decision-making.
