Diagnostic Accuracy of Dual-Energy CT Material Decomposition Technique for Assessing Bone Status Compared with Quantitative Computed Tomography.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy when using various base material pairs (BMPs) in dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), and to establish corresponding diagnostic standards for assessing bone status through comparison with quantitative computed tomography (QCT).
methodsThis prospective study enrolled a total of 469 patients who underwent both non-enhanced chest CT scans under conventional kVp and abdominal DECT. The bone densities of hydroxyapatite (water), hydroxyapatite (fat), hydroxyapatite (blood), calcium (water), and calcium (fat) (D
resultsA total of 1371 vertebral bodies were measured, and QCT identified 393 with osteoporosis and 442 with osteopenia. Strong correlations were observed between D
conclusionsBone density measurement using various BMPs in DECT enables the quantification of vertebral BMD and the diagnosis of osteoporosis, with D
