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

Background: Iodinated contrast media-acute adverse reactions (ICM-AARs) are frequent and clinically significant complications associated with radiological imaging. Despite investigation of their risk factors, there is no consensus, and no comprehensive synthesis has been conducted. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the factors influencing ICM-AARs. Methods: A systematic search for studies published in Chinese or English up to 22 July 2024 in the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, WanFang, CQVIP, and SinoMed databases was conducted. Studies on patients undergolng contrast-enhanced CT examinations with nonionic ICM were selected. The primary outcome measures were risk factors associated with ICM-AARs. The studies were analyzed for heterogeneity using the Results: Seventeen studies were included, encompassing 2,576,446 CT-enhanced examinations. Of these, 11,621 acute adverse reactions were reported, with a mean incidence of 0.45% and a quality score of ≥7. The meta-analysis showed that female sex (OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.13, 1.41), age <35 years (OR = 1.77, 95% CI = 1.19, 2.64), high body mass index (OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.01, 1.10), type of medical visit (outpatient) (OR = 2.23, 95% CI = 1.01, 4.93), history of adverse ICM reactions (OR = 11.03, 95% CI = 2.25, 53.97), history of other allergies (OR = 3.16, 95% CI = 1.27, 7.84), history of asthma (OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.19, 2.57), hyperthyroldism (OR = 4.59, 95% CI = 1.65, 12.82), and type of ICM (OR = 2.27, 95% CI = 1.68, 3.06) were risk factors for ICM-AARs. Age >60 years (OR = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.53, 0.95), pre-injection medication (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.39, 0.79), and hypertensive disorders (OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.65, 0.94) were identified as protective against ICM-AARs. Conclusions: The incidence of ICM-AARs is influenced by a variety of clinical and demographic factors. Healthcare professionals may benefit from dynamically assessing patient-specific risk factors and considering targeted preventive measures for high-risk groups, particularly in populations similar to those studied.
