Dedicated breast CT: state of the art-Part II. Clinical application and future outlook.
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 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 being increasingly used for breast imaging. This technique provides images with no compression, removal of tissue overlap, rapid acquisition, and available simultaneous assessment of microcalcifications and contrast enhancement. In this second installment in a 2-part review, the current status of clinical applications and ongoing efforts to develop new imaging systems are discussed, with particular emphasis on how to achieve optimized practice including lesion detection and characterization, response to therapy monitoring, density assessment, intervention, and implant evaluation. The potential for future screening with breast CT is also addressed. KEY POINTS: • Dedicated breast CT is an emerging modality with enormous potential in the future of breast imaging by addressing numerous clinical needs from diagnosis to treatment. • Breast CT shows either noninferiority or superiority with mammography and numerical comparability to MRI after contrast administration in diagnostic statistics, demonstrates excellent performance in lesion characterization, density assessment, and intervention, and exhibits promise in implant evaluation, while potential application to breast cancer screening is still controversial. • New imaging modalities such as phase-contrast breast CT, spectral breast CT, and hybrid imaging are in the progress of R & D.
