Impact of dual-energy CT post-processing to differentiate venous thrombosis from iodine flux artefacts.
Article in European radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesTo investigate the accuracy of dual-energy (DE) CT-based iodine maps (IM) and noise-optimised monoenergetic extrapolations (MEI+) at 40 keV for the detection and differentiation of venous thrombosis (VT) from iodine flux artefacts (IFA) in comparison to portal-venous phase CT (CT
methodsNinety-nine patients were enrolled in this study. In all patients, VT or IFA was suspected on contrast-enhanced CT and confirmed by follow-up CT or colour-coded ultrasound. All examinations were performed on a third-generation dual-source CT system in DE mode during portal-venous phase. CT
resultsDiagnostic confidence was significantly higher for IM and MEI+ [both 3 (2-3)] compared to CT
conclusionsIM and MEI+ 40 keV showed significantly higher diagnostic confidence and accuracy for the detection and differentiation of VT from IFA in comparison to CT KEY POINTS: • Iodine maps and noise-optimised monoenergetic extrapolations at 40 keV increase diagnostic confidence and accuracy for the detection and differentiation of venous thrombosis from iodine flux artefacts. • Dual-energy post-processing can significantly increase contrast-to-noise ratio and the sensitivity for the diagnosis of venous thrombosis • Iodine load in venous thrombosis is significantly lower than in iodine flux artefacts.
