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

objectivesTo evaluate robustness of dual-energy CT (DECT) radiomics features of virtual unenhanced (VUE) image and virtual monoenergetic image (VMI) among different imaging platforms.

methodsA phantom with sixteen clinical-relevant densities was scanned on ten DECT platforms with comparable scan parameters. Ninety-four radiomic features were extracted via Pyradiomics from VUE images and VMIs at energy level of 70 keV (VMI

results92.02% and 92.87% of features were repeatable between scan-rescans for VUE images and VMI

conclusionsThe majority of DECT radiomics features were non-reproducible. The differences in CT number were considered as an indicator of inter-platform DECT radiomics variation. Critical relevance statement: The majority of radiomics features extracted from the VUE images and the VMI70keV were non-reproducible among platforms, while synchronizing energy levels of VMI to reduce the CT number value variability may be a potential way to mitigate radiomics instability.
