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

STUDY

designComparative study of radiation doses in intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using an anthropomorphic phantom.

objectiveCompare the portrait and conventional landscape CBCT imaging methods under intraoperative conditions focusing on dose reduction rate, image quality, and imaging range. Intraoperative CBCT improves the accuracy of pedicle screw (PS) insertion in posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). We recently introduced portrait imaging for intraoperative CBCT in PS insertion using surgery navigation for AIS. However, evidence is scarce on the comparative radiation dose and image quality of this orientation versus landscape imaging.

methodsA human body phantom was equipped with radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeters both inside and on the surface for measuring radiation doses under portrait and landscape CBCT imaging methods. Radiation doses were evaluated by average dose index (ADI), surface dose (D

resultsThe respective mean ± standard deviation radiation doses for portrait and landscape imaging were 42.9 ± 0.7 and 50.6 ± 1.1 mGy for ADI (i.e., approximately 15% less radiation dose for portrait), 53.9 ± 1.6 and 65.2 ± 1.2 mGy for D

conclusionPortrait-mode CBCT allows for a wider craniocaudal imaging range and enables intraoperative CBCT imaging at lower radiation doses without compromising image quality.
