Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in emergency radiology: basic principles, techniques, and limitations.
Review in Emergency radiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Recent advances in computed tomography (CT) technology allow for acquisition of two CT datasets with different X-ray spectra. There are different dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) technical approaches such as: the dual-source CT, the fast kilovoltage-switching method, and the sandwich detectors technique. There are various postprocessing algorithms that are available to provide clinically relevant spectral information. There are several clinical applications of DECT that are easily accessible in the emergency setting. In this review article, we aim to provide the emergency radiologist with a discussion on how this new technology works and how some of its applications can be useful in the emergency room setting.
