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

Dual-energy CT (DECT) is an exciting application in CT technology conferring many advantages over conventional single-energy CT at no additional with comparable radiation dose to the patient. Various emerging and increasingly established clinical DECT applications in musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging such as bone marrow oedema detection, metal artefact reduction, monosodium urate analysis, and collagen analysis for ligamentous, meniscal, and disc injuries are made possible through its advanced DECT post-processing capabilities. These provide superior information on tissue composition, artefact reduction and image optimization. Newer DECT applications to evaluate fat fraction for sarcopenia, Rho/Z application for soft tissue calcification differentiation, 3D rendering, and AI integration are being assessed for future use. In this article, we will discuss the established and developing applications of DECT in the setting of MSK radiology as well as the basic principles of DECT which facilitate them.
