Liquid Embolic Agents in Spectral X-Ray Photon-Counting Computed Tomography using Tantalum K-Edge Imaging.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The aim was to evaluate the potential of Spectral Photon-Counting Computed Tomography (SPCCT) to differentiate between liquid embolic agents and iodinated contrast medium by using tantalum-characteristic K-edge imaging. Tubes with a concentration series of tantalum and inserts with different concentrations of iodine were scanned with a preclinical SPCCT system. Tantalum density maps (TDM) and iodine density maps (IDM) were generated from a SPCCT acquisition. Furthermore, region-of-interest (ROI) analysis was performed within the tubes in the conventional CT, the TDM and IDM. TDM and IDM enable clear differentiation between both substances. Quantitative measurements of different tantalum concentrations match well with those of actually diluted mixtures. SPCCT allows for differentiation between tantalum and iodine and may enable for an improved follow-up diagnosis in patients after vascular occlusion therapy.
