Dual-energy CT: theoretical principles and clinical applications.
Review in La Radiologia medica, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 88 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 physical principles of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) are as old as computed tomography (CT) itself. To understand the strengths and the limits of this technology, a brief overview of theoretical basis of DECT will be provided. Specific attention will be focused on the interaction of X-rays with matter, on the principles of attenuation of X-rays in CT toward the intrinsic limits of conventional CT, on the material decomposition algorithms (two- and three-basis-material decomposition algorithms) and on effective Rho-Z methods. The progresses in material decomposition algorithms, in computational power of computers and in CT hardware, lead to the development of different technological solutions for DECT in clinical practice. The clinical applications of DECT are briefly reviewed in relation to the specific algorithms.
