Comparison of image quality of split-bolus computed tomography versus dual-phase computed tomography in abdominal trauma.
Article in Polish journal of radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: To compare the image quality in single-pass split-bolus abdominal computed tomography (CT) and conventional biphasic CT in abdominal trauma patients. Material and methods: Sixty-six consecutive abdominal trauma patients referred for CT were randomised into 2 groups: the study group ( Results: The image quality in both groups ranged from good to excellent in most cases. There was no statistically significant difference in subjective image quality in both the groups as assessed by Likert score. Attenuation values in solid organs and major venous structures were significantly higher in the split-bolus group ( Conclusions: The split-bolus technique offers comparable image quality and higher solid organ and venous enhancement than conventional biphasic protocol at a reduced radiation dose.
