Photon-counting detectors in computed tomography: from quantum physics to clinical practice.
Review in Der Radiologe, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Over the last decade, a fundamentally new type of computed tomography (CT) detectors has proved its superior capabilities in both physical and preclinical evaluations and is now approaching the stage of clinical practice. These detectors are able to discriminate single photons and quantify their energy and are hence called photon-counting detectors. Among the promising benefits of this technology are improved radiation dose efficiency, increased contrast-to-noise ratio, reduced metal artifacts, improved spatial resolution, simultaneous multi-energy acquisitions, and the prospect of multi-phase imaging within a single acquisition using multiple contrast agents. Taking the conventional energy-integrating detectors as a reference, the authors demonstrate the technical principles of this new technology and provide phantom and patient images acquired by a whole-body photon-counting CT. These images serve as a basis for discussing the potential future of clinical CT.
