Image quality evaluation of dual-layer spectral CT in comparison to single-layer CT in a reduced-dose setting.
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 12 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 quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate image quality in dual-layer CT (DLCT) compared to single-layer CT (SLCT) in the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis in a reduced-dose setting.
methodsIntraindividual, retrospective comparisons were performed in 25 patients who received at least one acquisition of all three acquisition protocols SLCT
resultsDespite matched CTDI
conclusionsDLCT KEY POINTS: • Clinical use of reduced-dose DLCT is feasible despite the required higher tube potential. • DLCT with reduced dose shows comparable objective and subjective image quality to reduced-dose SLCT. • Further dose reduction in the thorax might be possible by adjusting mAs thresholds.
