Applications of dual-energy CT in acute musculoskeletal and trauma imaging-a review.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Recent advances in computed tomography have resulted in new applications of CT scans in musculoskeletal imaging. Dual-energy CT technology involves the acquisition of data at high and low kilovolts, allowing differentiation and quantification of materials with different X-ray absorption. Newer CT scanners with a variety of post-processing options allow interesting applications of dual-energy CT in musculoskeletal and trauma imaging. This article provides an overview of the basic principles and physics of DECT. We review applications of DECT in the evaluation of the acute painful joint with suspicion of gout, metal artefact reduction in the prosthetic joint and in imaging of patients following major trauma. We present a review of literature and case examples to illustrate the strengths and limitations of this modality in the diagnosis of acute musculoskeletal conditions.
