Differentiating invasive thymic epithelial tumors from mediastinal lung cancer using spectral CT parameters.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThe purpose of the study was to explore the importance of quantitative characteristics of spectral CT between invasive thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) and mediastinal lung cancer.
methodsWe analyzed 54 patients (28 with invasive TETs and 26 with mediastinal lung cancer) who underwent spectral CT. During the arterial and venous phase, we measured the CT
resultsDuring the AP and VP, the CT
conclusionsSpectral CT imaging has potential value in the differential diagnosis of invasive TETs and mediastinal lung cancer.
