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

objectiveThis study aims to determine the accuracy of computed tomography (CT) parameters obtained from three various scanning protocols (chest CT, low-dose lung CT, and abdominal CT) in diagnosing steatotic liver disease (SLD). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included 234 individuals who underwent chest CT, low-dose lung CT, or abdominal CT. SLD presence or absence was confirmed through ultrasound in all participants. Two radiologists independently measured the CT attenuation values of the liver (CT

resultsThe parameters (CT

conclusionBoth chest CT and low-dose CT-derived parameters demonstrated diagnostic accuracy comparable to that of abdominal CT in assessing SLD, suggesting their potential as viable alternatives in specific clinical scenarios.
