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

Objective: To investigate the aplication of low contrast agent concentration and low tube voltage in coronary CTA on patients with high BMI (26kg/m Methods: 60 patients with high BMI (26kg/m2<BMI≤28kg/m2) and 60 patients with ultra-high BMI (BMI>28kg/m Result: There was no significant difference in subjective scores of coronary artery image quality between the two high BMI subgroups (P>0.05).The ED of group A (1.103±0.101 mSv) was significantly lower than that of group a (4.663±0.412 mSv) (P<0.001).There was no significant difference in mean CT value, SNR and CNR between the two subgroups (P>0.05).The image excellent index (FOM) of group A was higher than that of group a (P<0.05).The total iodine content and iodine injection rate in group A were lower than those in group a (P<0.001).The difference of subjective scores of coronary artery image quality between the two ultra-high subgroups was significant. The mean CT value, SNR and CNR of group B were lower than those of group b (P<0.05). The images of 14 patients in group B could not meet the diagnosis demand. Conclusion: It is feasible to reduce the tube voltage to 70KV in patients with abdominal BMI with high BMI (26Kg/m
