Application of Dual-Layer Spectral-Detector Computed Tomography Angiography in Identifying Symptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis: A Prospective Observational Study.
Observational study in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundDual-layer spectral-detector dual-energy computed tomography angiography (DLCTA) can distinguish components of carotid plaques. Data on identifying symptomatic carotid plaques in patients using DLCTA are not available. METHODS AND
resultsIn this prospective observational study, patients with carotid plaques were enrolled and received DLCTA. The attenuation for both polyenergetic image and virtual monoenergetic images (40, 70, 100, and 140 keV), as well as
conclusionsParameters of DLCTA might help assist in distinguishing symptomatic carotid plaques. Further studies with a larger sample size may address the overlap and improve the diagnostic accuracy.
