Protocol optimization for abdominal imaging using photon-counting CT: a consensus of two academic institutions.
Article in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposePhoton-counting detector CT (PCD CT) is a promising technology for abdominal imaging due to its ability to provide high spatial and contrast resolution images with reduced patient radiation exposure. However, there is currently no consensus regarding the optimal imaging protocols for PCD CT. This article aims to present the PCD CT abdominal imaging protocols used by two tertiary care academic centers in the United States.
methodsA review of PCD CT abdominal imaging protocols was conducted by two abdominal radiologists at different academic institutions. Protocols were compared in terms of acquisition parameters and reconstruction settings. Both imaging centers independently selected similar protocols for PCD CT abdominal imaging, using QuantumPlus mode.
resultsThere were some differences in the use of reconstruction kernels and iterative reconstruction levels, however the individual combination at each site resulted in similar image impressions. Overall, the imaging protocols used by both centers provide high-quality images with low radiation exposure.
conclusionThese findings provide valuable insights into the development of standardized protocols for PCD CT abdominal imaging, which can help to ensure consistent as well as high-quality imaging across different institutions and allow for future multicenter research collaborations.
