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

Current in vivo imaging techniques for cardiopulmonary vascular evaluation in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats face limitations, including structural disruption, inadequate contrast filling, and invasiveness. This study developed a reliable, minimally invasive computed tomography angiography (CTA) technique via jugular vein catheterization for enhanced cardiopulmonary vascular imaging in live SD rats. Jugular vein catheterization was performed in 22 anesthetized healthy male SD rats (320-480 g), followed by dual-source CT angiography with iopamidol contrast. Three-dimensional vascular reconstruction was performed, and pulmonary artery width alongside left and right ventricular diameters was measured. CT-derived measurements were compared with ultrasound data using Bland-Altman analysis. CTA achieved clear visualization of pulmonary arteries, cardiac chambers, and aortic structures, demonstrating complete contrast filling and anatomical detail. Three-dimensional reconstructions precisely delineated mediastinal and vascular relationships. Pulmonary artery widths measured by CT and ultrasound showed strong agreement (
