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
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is used to visualize blood vessels by subtracting pre-contrast (mask) images from contrast images; sequential mask and contrast images are used to generate dynamic DSA images that allow observation of blood flow and organ movements. However, misalignment between mask and contrast images can cause motion artifacts, which not only obscure the appearance of enhanced structures but also lead to the misidentification of patterns as vascular structures. In this study, we proposed a new method for generating abdominal sequential DSA images using a patch-based phase-matching technique between mask and contrast images acquired under natural breathing conditions. Our method divides mask and contrast images into small patches and selects the mask image patch most structurally similar to each patch in the target contrast image. Furthermore, the selected mask image patch is refined by searching for the subpixel-level region that most closely matches the target contrast image patch. The proposed method was evaluated using 20 abdominal angiogram cases, and its performance was compared with an existing phase matching-based method. Our experimental results showed that the proposed method effectively reduced motion artifacts and outperformed the comparison method in all cases. We demonstrated that our method successfully identified the optimal mask image for each contrast image on a patch-by-patch basis, allowing it to suppress artifacts caused by physiological motions such as peristalsis and cardiac pulsation, thereby generating higher-quality DSA images.
