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

purposeTo ascertain the performance of dual-energy CT (DECT) with iodine quantification in differentiating malignant mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes (LNs) from benign ones, focusing on patients with lung adenocarcinoma. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this study, patients with suspected lung cancer received a preoperative contrast-enhanced DECT scan from Jun 2018 to Dec 2020. Quantitative DECT parameters and the size were compared between metastatic and benign LNs. Their diagnostic performances were analyzed by the ROC curves and compared by using the two-sample t test.

results72 patients (23 men, 49 women; mean age 62.5 ± 10.1 years) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A total of 98 LNs (67 benign, 31 metastatic) were analyzed. The iodine concentration normalized by muscle (NIC
