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
Maintaining stable injection pressure is essential for safe and effective contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT), but the combined effects of procedural factors on maximum injection pressure remain unclear. This retrospective study analyzed 4223 CE-CT examinations performed between April 2022 and March 2025 using data automatically recorded by an integrated CE-evidence system. A general linear model was used to evaluate the effects of IV catheter size (20G or 22G), injection rate (2.5, 3.0, or 3.5 mL/s), and contrast medium (CM) type on maximum injection pressure after adjustment for age, sex, and body mass index. IV catheter size had the greatest effect on maximum injection pressure (partial η² = 0.247, p < 0.001), with significantly higher pressures for 22G than for 20G catheters. CM type (partial η² = 0.159, p < 0.001) and injection rate (partial η² = 0.075, p < 0.001) were also significant independent factors. Significant two-way interactions were observed between IV catheter size and injection rate, IV catheter size and CM type, and injection rate and CM type (all p < 0.001), whereas the three-way interaction was not significant (p = 0.129). Adjusted estimated marginal means showed that the increase in maximum injection pressure with higher injection rates was greater for 22G than for 20G catheters. These findings indicate that maximum injection pressure is determined by both individual procedural factors and their interactions, and that optimizing combinations of IV catheter size, CM type, and injection rate may help reduce excessive injection pressure in clinical practice.
