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

Purpose: This study investigated the relationships among water-equivalent diameter (D Subjects and Methods: Fifty pediatric patients (0-14 years) undergoing noncontrast head CT were retrospectively analyzed. Scans were performed on a 128-slice CT scanner at 120 kVp. Twenty-five patients were examined using active TCM, and 25 with fixed tube current. CTDI Results: Active TCM reduced CTDI Conclusion: Active TCM improves dose-noise efficiency in pediatric head CT by reducing radiation dose while maintaining stable image quality. Integration of D
