Effect of body mass index (BMI) on image contrast in the hepatobiliary phase of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced-MRI and the feasibility of the application of half-dose Gd-EOB-DTPA to hepatobiliary phase imaging in patients with a BMI less than 24: a comparative study.

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
Background: Gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can detect more lesions through the image contrast of hepatobiliary phase. Body mass index (BMI) reflects the composition ratio of human tissue, which is an influencing factor of magnetic resonance image contrast. Meanwhile, Gd-EOB-DTPA is recommended to use the minimum dose when the diagnosis demands could be met. The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of BMI on hepatobiliary phase image contrast and explore the feasibility of using low-dose Gd-EOB-DTPA to obtain good hepatobiliary phase image contrast in patients with normal and lean BMI. Methods: Eighty-two patients who had previously undergone Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI (0.025 mmol/kg) were collected and divided into group A (BMI <24 kg/m Results: In retrospective grouping study, compared with group B, group A's LPC20 was significantly higher [2.63 (2.42-3.00) Conclusions: Under conventional dose, hepatobiliary phase image contrast in patients with a BMI <24 was higher, which was mainly manifested in the high LPC. For patients with a BMI <24 kg/m
