Low dose contrast media in step-and-shoot coronary angiography with third-generation dual-source computed tomography: feasibility of using 30 mL of contrast media in patients with body surface area <1.7 m
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundReducing contrast media volume in coronary computed tomography angiography minimizes the risk of adverse events but may compromise diagnostic image quality. We aimed to evaluate coronary computed tomography angiography's diagnostic image quality while using 30 mL of contrast media in patients with a body surface area <1.7 m
methodsThis prospective study included patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography from May 2018 to June 2019. The patients were divided into a low-dose group, who received 30 mL of contrast media, and a routine-dose group, who received contrast media based on body weight. Patient characteristics, coronary computed tomography angiography results, and quantitative and qualitative image results were assessed and compared.
resultsIn total, 103 patients with a body surface area <1.7 m
conclusionsUsing 30 mL of contrast media for coronary computed tomography angiography in patients with a body surface area <1.7 m
