1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

As the access of radiology practices to dual-energy CT (DECT) has increased worldwide, seamless integration into clinical workflows and optimized use of this technology are desirable. In this article, we provide basic concepts of commercially available DECT hardware implementations, discuss financial and logistical aspects, provide tips for protocol building and image routing strategies, and review radiation dose considerations to establish a DECT service line in abdominal imaging. KEY POINTS: • Tube-based and detector-based DECT implementations with varying features and strengths are available on the imaging market. • Thorough assessment of financial and logistical aspects is key to successful implementation of a DECT service line. • Optimized protocol building and image routing strategies are of critical importance for effective use and seamless inception of DECT in routine clinical workflows.
