Dedicated breast CT: state of the art-Part I. Historical evolution and technical aspects.
Review in European radiology, 2022. 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 18 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
Dedicated breast CT is an emerging 3D isotropic imaging technology for breast, which overcomes the limitations of 2D compression mammography and limited angle tomosynthesis while providing some of the advantages of magnetic resonance imaging. This first installment in a 2-part review describes the evolution of dedicated breast CT beginning with a historical perspective and progressing to the present day. Moreover, it provides an overview of state-of-the-art technology. Particular emphasis is placed on technical limitations in scan protocol, radiation dose, breast coverage, patient comfort, and image artifact. Proposed methods of how to address these technical challenges are also discussed. KEY POINTS: • Advantages of breast CT include no tissue overlap, improved patient comfort, rapid acquisition, and concurrent assessment of microcalcifications and contrast enhancement. • Current clinical and prototype dedicated breast CT systems differ in acquisition modes, imaging techniques, and detector types. • There are still details to be decided regarding breast CT techniques, such as scan protocol, radiation dose, breast coverage, patient comfort, and image artifact.
