Differentiation of Hamartomas and Malignant Lung Tumors in Single-Phased Dual-Energy Computed Tomography.

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
This study investigated the efficacy of single-phase dual-energy CT (DECT) in differentiating pulmonary hamartomas from malignant lung lesions using virtual non-contrast (VNC), iodine, and fat quantification. Forty-six patients with 47 pulmonary lesions (mean age: 65.2 ± 12.1 years; hamartomas-to-malignant lesions = 22:25; male: 67%) underwent portal venous DECT using histology, PET-CT and follow-up CTs as a reference. Quantitative parameters such as VNC, fat fraction, iodine density and CT mixed values were statistically analyzed. Significant differences were found in fat fractions (hamartomas: 48.9%; malignancies: 22.9%;
