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

objectiveTo assess the diagnostic value of spectral parameters in differentiating adrenal adenomas from metastases based on dual-layer detector spectral CT (DLSCT). MATERIALS AND

methodsPatients with adenomas or metastases who underwent enhanced DLSCT of the adrenals were enrolled. The CT values of virtual non-contrast images (CT

resultsNinety-nine patients with 106 adrenal lesions (63 adenomas, 43 metastases) were included. In the venous phase, all spectral parameters were significantly different between adenomas and metastases (all p < 0.05). The combined spectral parameters showed a better diagnostic performance in the venous phase than in other phase (p < 0.05). The iodine-to-CT

conclusionOn DLSCT, the combined spectral parameters in the venous phase could help better distinguish adrenal adenomas from metastases. The iodine-to-CT
