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

We analyzed radiologic service utilization among Colombian supercentenarians (2014-2023) using administrative health data. Imaging use averaged 3.03 examinations per person annually. General radiology, ultrasound, and computed tomography were the most frequently used modalities. Mean per capita imaging expenditure was 185.22 PPP USD. Compared with centenarians, supercentenarians exhibited a more restricted pattern of imaging utilization, characterized by lower use of advanced imaging modalities and the absence of interventional radiology procedures. These findings indicate a distinct pattern of radiologic service use at extreme ages.
