Full field-of-view, high-resolution, photon-counting detector CT: technical assessment and initial patient experience.
Article in Physics in medicine and biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 67 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
We report a comprehensive evaluation of a full field-of-view (FOV) photon-counting detector (PCD) computed tomography (CT) system using phantoms, and qualitatively assess image quality in patient examples. A whole-body PCD-CT system with 50 cm FOV, 5.76 cm z-detector coverage and two acquisition modes (standard: 144 × 0.4 mm collimation and ultra-high resolution (UHR): 120 × 0.2 mm collimation) was used in this study. Phantoms were scanned to assess image uniformity, CT number accuracy, noise power spectrum, spatial resolution, material decomposition and virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) performance. Four patients were scanned on the PCD-CT system with matched or lower radiation dose than their prior clinical CT scans performed using energy-integrating detector (EID) CT, and the potential clinical impact of PCD-CT was qualitatively evaluated. Phantom results showed water CT numbers within ±5 HU, and image uniformity measured between peripheral and central regions-of-interests to be within ±5 HU. For the UHR mode using a dedicated sharp kernel, the cut-off spatial frequency was 40 line-pairs cm
