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

Established cone-beam CT angiography protocols exist for neurointerventional, hepatic, and prostatic artery applications, but no widely accepted acquisition framework addresses renal embolization, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, pulmonary vascular intervention, or below-the-knee peripheral disease. This narrative review searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library through May 2025 for acquisition parameters and contrast protocols in these territories. Six interdependent variables (injection rate, contrast concentration, volume, scan delay, catheter position, and hemodynamics) govern image quality and must be optimized jointly. Territory-specific parameters are synthesized, and radiation considerations are addressed, with emphasis on total procedural exposure and on whether cone-beam acquisitions replace, rather than simply add to, other angiographic acquisitions.Level of Evidence Level 5. Narrative review of published literature without formal quality assessment or meta-analysis.
