Dual-Energy CT Material Decomposition in Pediatric Thoracic Oncology.
Review in Radiology. Imaging cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Technical advances in CT have enabled implementation of dual-energy CT into routine clinical practice. By acquiring images at two different energy spectra, dual-energy CT enables material decomposition, allowing generation of material- and energy-specific images. Material-specific images include virtual nonenhanced images and iodine-specific images (iodine maps). Energy-specific images include virtual monoenergetic images. The reconstructed images can provide unique qualitative and quantitative information about tissue composition and contrast media distribution. In thoracic oncologic imaging, dual-energy CT provides advantages in characterization of thoracic malignancies and lung nodules, determination of extent of disease, and assessment of response to therapy. An especially important feature in children is that dual-energy CT does not come at a higher radiation exposure.
