Improving radiation physics, tumor visualisation, and treatment quantification in radiotherapy with spectral or dual-energy CT.
Review in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
Over the past decade, spectral or dual-energy CT has gained relevancy, especially in oncological radiology. Nonetheless, its use in the radiotherapy (RT) clinic remains limited. This review article aims to give an overview of the current state of spectral CT and to explore opportunities for applications in RT. In this article, three groups of benefits of spectral CT over conventional CT in RT are recognized. Firstly, spectral CT provides more information of physical properties of the body, which can improve dose calculation. Furthermore, it improves the visibility of tumors, for a wide variety of malignancies as well as organs-at-risk OARs, which could reduce treatment uncertainty. And finally, spectral CT provides quantitative physiological information, which can be used to personalize and quantify treatment.
