Initial exploration of coronary stent image subtraction using dual-layer spectral CT.
Article in European radiology, 2019. 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
objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the feasibility of coronary stent image subtraction using spectral tools derived from dual-layer spectral computed tomography (CT).
methodsForty-three patients (65 stents) who underwent coronary CT angiography using dual-layer spectral CT were included. Conventional, 50-keV (kilo electron-volt), 100-keV, and virtual non-contrast (VNC) images were reconstructed from the same cardiac phase. Stents were subtracted on VNC images from conventional (conv
resultsIn-stent lumen diameters were significantly larger on subtraction images than those on conventional and 100-keV images (p < 0.05). Higher reader confidence was found on 100-keV, conv
conclusionsSubtraction images derived from dual-layer spectral CT enhanced in-stent lumen visibility and could potentially improve diagnostic performance for evaluating coronary stents. KEY POINTS: • Dual-layer spectral CT enabled good subtractive quality of coronary stents without misregistration artifacts. • Subtraction images could improve in-stent lumen visibility. • Reader confidence and diagnostic performance were enhanced with subtraction images.
