CT-guided bone biopsy using electron density maps from dual-energy CT.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 10 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
Computed tomography (CT) -guided bone biopsy is a diagnostic procedure performed on the musculoskeletal system with a high diagnostic yield and low complications. However, CT-guided bone biopsy has the disadvantage that it is difficult to confirm the presence of tumor cells during the biopsy procedure. Recently, the clinical benefits of dual-energy CT (DECT) over single-energy CT have been revealed. DECT can provide material decomposition images including calcium suppression images, and effective atomic number (Z
