1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose To determine whether photon-counting CT (PCCT) acquisition of whole-body CT images provides similar quantitative image quality and reader satisfaction for multiple myeloma screening at lower radiation doses than does standard energy-integrating detector (EID) CT. Materials and Methods Patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance prospectively underwent clinical noncontrast whole-body CT with EID and same-day PCCT (August-December 2021). Five axial scan locations were evaluated by seven radiologists, with 11% (eight of 70) of images including osteolytic lesions. Images were shown in randomized order, and each reader rated the following: discernibility of the osseous cortex and osseous trabeculae, perceived image noise level, and diagnostic confidence. Presence of lytic osseous lesions was indicated. Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) were calculated. Comparisons were made using paired
