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: Radiation dose generated from computed tomography (CT) has drawn more attention to diagnostic radiology. It is a known fact that the risk of radiation-induced cancer is increasing, thereby necessitating the optimisation of dose in CT protocols. This study focused on determining the radiation dose of CT scans for the abdomen and lung using a 64-slice CT scanner to evaluate their correlation with body mass index (BMI). The objective of the study was to critically evaluate the relationship between BMI and radiation dose metrics in both CT lung and CT abdomen examinations. Methods: Data from 106 patients who underwent CT lung and CT abdomen examinations at an advanced diagnostic center were retrospectively analysed. The volume CT dose index (CTDI Results: The mean BMI for CT lung was recorded as 24.85 (5.65). However, the correlation between BMI and the dose metrics (SSDE, E, DLP, and CTDI Conclusion: These results further suggest that BMI could provide radiation dose analysis, which in turn leads to optimisation of CT scan parameters.
