Effects of radiation dose levels and spectral iterative reconstruction levels on the accuracy of iodine quantification and virtual monochromatic CT numbers in dual-layer spectral detector CT: an iodine phantom study.

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
backgroundThe purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of iodine quantification and virtual monochromatic CT numbers obtained with the dual-layer spectral CT (DLCT) using a phantom at different radiation dose levels and spectral iterative reconstruction (IR) levels.
methodsAn abdomen phantom with seven iodine inserts (2.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0 mg/mL) was imaged using a DLCT scanner. Five repeated scans were performed at computed tomography dose index volume (CTDI
resultsAt CTDI
conclusionsThe accuracy of iodine quantification and VMI CT numbers was only affected by very low radiation dose levels. At the clinically applied radiation dose levels of >10 mGy, the accuracy of both iodine quantification and VMI CT numbers is relatively stable and high.
