Spectral CT imaging versus conventional CT post-processing technique in differentiating malignant and benign renal tumors.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveQuantitative comparison of the diagnostic value of spectral CT imaging and conventional CT post-processing technique in differentiating malignant and benign renal tumors.
methodsA total of 209 patients with renal tumors who had undergone CT enhancement were assigned to three groups-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC,
resultsThe iodine concentration, slope, and density values were higher in the ccRCCs group compared to the non-ccRCCs and benign renal tumor groups (
conclusionIodine concentration presented the highest diagnostic efficacy in differentiating ccRCCs/non-ccRCCs from benign renal tumors. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: 1. The iodine concentration, slope, and density values were higher for the ccRCCs compared to non-ccRCCs and benign renal tumors.2. Iodine concentration presented the highest diagnostic efficacy in differentiating ccRCCs/non-ccRCCs from benign renal tumors.3. Spectral CT imaging analysis performed better than conventional CT in differentiating malignant and benign renal tumors.
