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

backgroundDedicated radiological expertise and a high-quality examination, performed according to current technical standards and for accepted indications, are prerequisite to achieve excellent results with CT colonography (CTC).

objectivesThe aim of this article is to review current standards of the examination technique as well as indications and contraindications for CTC based on recent recommendations and guidelines. MATERIALS AND

methodsBased on extensive literature research, current knowledge about the examination technique and the indications and contraindications is summarized.

resultsCTC is the radiological examination of choice for the detection of colorectal neoplasia. Beside incomplete or refused colonoscopy and contraindications to colonoscopy, CTC is also a noninvasive option for opportunistic colorectal cancer screening. The examination technique is based on a CTC-specific patient preparation scheme that includes fecal tagging, colonic distension, low-dose CT scans in two patient positions and a combined 2D and 3D data evaluation.

conclusionsPerforming CTC according to current technical standards is prerequisite for high-quality examinations and is, thus, also a key factor to obtain a correct diagnosis. CTC is a noninvasive examination, capable of providing clinically relevant diagnoses for a wide range of indications.
