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

The safety and efficacy of Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radio-embolization therapy is partly dependent on the lung shunt fraction (LSF). There may be a notable disparity between LSF when calculated using 2D planar imaging vs 3D single photon emission CT (SPECT); this can affect the total allowable Y-90 dose delivered and therefore change the effectiveness of the procedure. The case presented demonstrates an 81% decrease in LSF when calculated by SPECT as compared to 2D planar imaging. This case highlights the importance of considering the imaging technique and the potential discrepancies that can arise between planar and SPECT imaging in LSF assessment.
