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
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to utilize a two-material decomposition to quantify bone marrow edema on a dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) scanner at the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine acute fractures in correlation with short tau inversion recovery (STIR) hyperintensity on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in comparison with the normal bone marrow. Materials and methods: This retrospective institutional review board-approved study gathered patients over 18 years old who had acute cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spinal fractures scanned on a DECT scanner. Those who had a spinal MRI done with bone marrow STIR hyperintensity within 3 weeks of the DECT were included. The water (calcium) and fat (calcium) density (mg/cm Results: A total of 20 patients met the inclusion criteria (males Conclusion: The DECT two-material decomposition using water (calcium) and fat (calcium) analyses has the ability to quantify a bone marrow edema at the acute fracture site in the thoracic and lumbar spine.
