A systematic assessment of photon-counting CT for bone mineral density and microarchitecture quantifications.
Article in Proceedings of SPIE--the International Society for Optical Engineering, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Photon-counting CT (PCCT) is an emerging imaging technology with potential improvements in quantification and rendition of micro-structures due to its smaller detector sizes. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of a new PCCT scanner (NAEOTOM Alpha, Siemens) in quantifying clinically relevant bone imaging biomarkers for characterization of common bone diseases. We evaluated the ability of PCCT in quantifying microarchitecture in bones compared to conventional energy-integrating CT. The quantifications were done through virtual imaging trials, using a 50 percentile BMI male virtual patient, with a detailed model of trabecular bone with varied bone densities in the lumbar spine. The virtual patient was imaged using a validated CT simulator (DukeSim) at CTDI
