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

Background: The accuracy and variability of quantification in computed tomography angiography (CTA) are affected by the interplay of imaging parameters and patient attributes. The assessment of these combined effects has been an open engineering challenge. Purpose: In this study, we developed a framework that optimizes imaging parameters for accurate and consistent coronary stenosis quantification in cardiac CTA while accounting for patient-specific variables. Methods: The framework utilizes a task-specific image quality index, the estimability index ( Results: The framework produced results consistent with imaging physics principles with approximated EPFs of 97% accuracy. The feature importance evaluation demonstrated a close match with earlier studies. The verification study found Conclusions: The protocol optimization framework provides means to assess and optimize CTA in terms of either image quality or radiation dose objectives with its results predicting prior clinical trial findings.
