Effect of energy difference in the evaluation of calcification size and luminal diameter in calcified coronary artery plaque using spectral CT.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThis study evaluated the calcium blooming-reducing effect and the differences of luminal diameter among various-energy virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) using rapid kilovolt-switching dual-energy computed tomography (DECT). MATERIALS AND
methodsForty-five calcified segments in 31 patients were analyzed. For the analysis, 40- to 140-keV VMIs on both non-contrast CT and coronary CT angiography were generated at 10-keV steps, and calcification size and luminal diameter were measured using CT number profile curve and full-width at half-maximum method. We compared calcification size and luminal diameter on each keV VMIs with those on 70-keV VMI.
resultsThere was no significant differences among the 40- to 140-keV VMIs regarding calcification size or luminal diameter.
conclusionThe 40- to 140-keV VMIs produced by single-source DECT had no effect on the calcification size or luminal diameter in the coronary artery.
