Using quantitative parameters derived from pretreatment dual-energy computed tomography to predict histopathologic features in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients with a high tumor grade, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), or perineural invasion (PNI) tend to demonstrate a poor prognosis in clinical series. Thus, the identification of histopathological features, including tumor grade, LVI, and PNI, before treatment could be used to stratify the prognosis of patients with HNSCC. This study aimed to assess whether quantitative parameters derived from pretreatment dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) can predict the histopathological features of patients with HNSCC.
methodsIn this study, 72 consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed HNSCC were enrolled and underwent dual-phase (noncontrast-enhanced phase and contrast-enhanced phase) DECT examinations. Normalized iodine concentration (NIC), the slope of the spectral Hounsfield unit curve (λ
