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

backgroundCombined prospectively electrocardiography (ECG)- and respiratory-triggered sequential cardiac computed tomography (CT) has not been evaluated in free-breathing children.

objectiveTo evaluate the success rate and image quality of combined prospectively ECG- and respiratory-triggered sequential cardiac CT in free-breathing children. MATERIALS AND

methodsImage quality of combined prospectively ECG- and respiratory-triggered sequential cardiac CT in 870 children (≤5 years of age) was evaluated in terms of severe motion (maximal distance ≥2 mm) and band artifacts (maximal attenuation difference ≥100 Hounsfield units). The success rate of the scan mode was calculated. The causes of failed cases were assessed. Patient-related, radiation and image quality parameters were compared between success and failure groups.

resultsSevere motion artifacts were observed in 10.6% (92/870) of patients due to cardiac phase error in 17 (18.5%), patient motion in 12 (13.0%), and unknown causes in 63 (68.5%). Severe band artifacts were seen in 13.2% (115/870) of patients. Combined prospectively ECG- and respiratory-triggered sequential cardiac CT was successfully performed in 78.5% (683/870) of patients, while it failed in 21.5% (187/870). All the evaluated patient-related, radiation and image quality parameters were significantly different (P≤0.001) between success and failure groups except effective dose (P>0.05).

conclusionAdditional prospective respiratory triggering can reduce motion artifacts in prospectively ECG-triggered sequential cardiac CT in free-breathing children.
