Noise-optimized monoenergetic post-processing improves visualization of incidental pulmonary embolism in cancer patients undergoing single-pass dual-energy computed tomography.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeTo evaluate noise-optimized monoenergetic postprocessing of dual-energy CT (DE-CT) on image quality in patients with incidental pulmonary embolism in single-pass portal-venous phase CT (CT MATERIALS AND
methods20 Consecutive patients with incidental pulmonary embolism in contrast-enhanced oncological follow-up DE-CT
resultsHighest vessel contrast and highest detectability of embolism were observed in MEI+ at 40 keV (4.7 ± 0.4) and 55 keV (4.2 ± 0.6) with significant differences as compared to CT
conclusionsComputed MEI+ at low keV levels allow for improved vessel contrast and visualisation of incidental pulmonary embolism in patients with portal-venous phase CT scans by substantially increasing CNR and SNR.
