Comparison of Image Quality and Radiation Dose in Pediatric Temporal Bone CT Using Photon-Counting Detector CT and Energy-Integrating Detector CT.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
background and purposeCurrently, there is a lack of research directly comparing photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) and energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) in pediatric temporal bone CT imaging. The purpose of this study was to compare the image quality and radiation dose of temporal bone CT scans in pediatric patients acquired with PCD-CT and EID-CT. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe retrospective study included a total of 110 pediatric temporal bone CT scans (PCD-CT,
resultsPCD-CT demonstrated statistically significantly higher scores than EID-CT for all items (tympanic membrane, 2.9 versus 2.4; incudostapedial joint, 3.6 versus 2.6; stapedial crura, 3.2 versus 2.4; cochlear modiolus, 3.4 versus 2.8; overall image quality, 3.6 versus 2.8;
conclusionsPCD temporal bone CT achieves significantly superior imaging quality at a lower radiation dose compared with EID-CT.
