Dual-Energy Computed Tomography For Differentiation Between Osteoblastic Metastases and Bone Islands.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate the utility of Rho/Z on dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for the differentiation of osteoblastic metastases (OBMs) from bone islands (BIs). Methods: DECT images of 110 patients with malignancies were collected. The effective atomic number (Z), electron density (Rho), dual energy index (DEI), and regular CT (rCT) values were measured by two observers. Independent-sample Results: A total of 205 OBMs and 120 BIs were included. The mean values of Z, Rho, DEI, and rCT of OBMs were significantly lower than those of BIs, whereas the standard deviation values were higher than those of BIs (all Conclusion: DECT can provide quantitative values of Z, Rho, and DEI and has good performance in differentiating between OBMs and BIs.
