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

Purpose: Compared with retrospective ECG-gated arterial phase scan, to investigate the clinical application value of dual-source CT large-spiral arterial late scan in the imaging evaluation of left atrial appendage (LAA). Patients and Methods: A total of 108 patients requiring LAA CT angiography (CTA) due to atrial fibrillation (AF) were selected from September 2024 to December 2024, including 52 patients in group A (Flash large-spiral arterial late scan) and 56 patients in group B (retrospective ECG-gated arterial phase scan). All patients underwent double-phase scan. The interval between the two periods is 30s. Clinical data of patients were collected, the scanning range and radiation dose received were recorded. The CT values of LAA, ascending aorta (AA) at the same level and left atrium at the largest level were measured. At the same time, evaluate other meaningful lesions within the scan range. Results: The difference between the two groups of scanning range and radiation dose was statistically significant ( Conclusion: By adopting the three-generation dual-source FLASH large-pitch arterial late scan mode, the complete filling rate of the LAA was significantly improved. Not only shortened the examination time, reduced the radiation dose, but also increased the detection rate of other significant lesions within the scanning range for the patients.
