Low-Dose Computed Tomography Scan Features Are Associated With Annual Risk of Hospitalization.

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: The objective of this study was to investigate whether lung cancer screening low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) can be used to identify features associated with increased risk of hospitalization during the subsequent year. Methods: Patients who underwent lung cancer screening between 2015 and 2020 with at least 1-year follow-up were identified. Patient charts were examined and LDCT scans were analyzed using body segmentation software to identify characteristics potentially associated with frailty and injury. Hospitalization was defined as an admission >48 hours within 1 year of the LDCT scan; admissions for elective procedures were excluded. Results: There were 1606 LDCT scans that met inclusion criteria. The cohort median age was 65 years (interquartile range, 61-70 years), with 54% (875/1606) female, 50% (804/1606) current smokers, and median smoking history of 40 pack-years (interquartile range, 34-50 pack-years). There were 107 hospitalizations within 1 year of the LDCT scan. On univariate analysis, cardiomegaly (odds ratio [OR], 2.83; 95% CI, 1.33-6.04; Conclusions: In lung cancer screening patients, features extractable from LDCT scans are associated with increased risk of hospitalizations during the subsequent year.
