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

Objectives: Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) plays a key role in diagnosing congenital heart disease (CHD), emphasizing the need for specialized protocols in newborns due to CHD's complexity. The aim is to explore the relationship between peak enhancement time (PET) and various parameters during CHD assessment with CCT. Material and Methods: The study involved 38 CHD patients undergoing CCT, with observations made on their heart rate, respiratory rate, saturation, cardiac output, weight, height, and age. The PET for each case was determined, and Spearman's rank correlation was employed to evaluate the association between these parameters and the PET. Results: The median PET was 20.63 s, with a mean aortic Hounsfield unit of 512.16 ± 160.56. A moderate negative correlation was found between PET and both heart rates (r = -0.42, Conclusion: The findings conclude that PET during CCT is significantly associated with heart rate and respiratory rate. An increase in these rates corresponds to a notable decrease in PET. Consequently, the study recommends minimizing scan delays in CCT for patients exhibiting higher heart rates.
