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: Estimation of the lung shunt fraction (LSF) is an integral part of liver radioembolization treatment planning to prevent excessive lung irradiation from arterio-venous shunting in the liver. Purpose: This study investigates the potential of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) as a non-invasive method for estimating LSF as an alternative for Materials and Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 30 consecutive patients who underwent Results: The cohort consisted of 23 male and 7 female patients with a median age of 66 years (interquartile range: 58-71), diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma ( Conclusion: Hypervascular-tumor-to-perfused volume ratio computed from CECT may offer a suitable alternative to
