Optimization of radiation dose for CT detection of lytic and sclerotic bone lesions: a phantom study.
Article in European radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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 determine the best compromise between low radiation dose and suitable image quality for the detection of lytic and sclerotic bone lesions of the lumbar spine and pelvis.
methodsA phantom was scanned using the routine protocol (STD, 13 mGy) and six decreasing dose levels. Raw data were reconstructed using level 3 of iterative reconstruction (IR3) with 1-mm slice thickness for the STD protocol and highest IR levels with 3-mm slice thickness for the others. CTDI
resultsSimilar d' values were found for CTDI
conclusionA dose level as low as 3.4 mGy, in association with high levels of IR, provides suitable image quality for the detection of lytic and sclerotic bone lesions of the lumbar spine and pelvis. KEY POINTS: • A CTDI
