Effects of source-to-image distance and dose mode on image quality and radiation dose in high-definition (Hi-Def) angiography.

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.
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
This study evaluated the effects of source-to-image distance (SID) and dose mode on image quality and radiation dose in a high-definition (Hi-Def) angiography compared with conventional flat-panel detector (FPD). A phantom study was performed with varying SID (90-120 cm) and dose mode (low, normal, high). Fluoroscopy images were assessed using standard deviation (SD), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), air kerma rate, and spatial resolution (visual assessment). SD increased with SID in both systems, but Hi-Def exhibited more stable noise performance compared with FPD. Increasing SID reduced spatial resolution and increased air kerma rate in Hi-Def. CNR improved with increasing dose mode, whereas spatial resolution showed no significant differences. These results demonstrate that Hi-Def imaging exhibits unique characteristics, including increased radiation dose and SID-sensitive spatial resolution. Optimizing SID and dose mode is essential to preserve spatial resolution, avoid unnecessary radiation exposure, and achieve a balance between image quality and dose in Hi-Def.
