Diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism: when photon-counting-detector CT replaces energy-integrating-detector CT in daily routine.
Article in European radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeTo compare the diagnostic approach of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) with photon-counting-detector CT (PCD-CT) and energy-integrating-detector CT (EID-CT). MATERIALS AND
methodsTwo cohorts underwent CT angiographic examinations with EID-CT (Group 1; n = 158) and PCD-CT (Group 2; n = 172), (b) with two options in Group 1, dual energy (Group 1a) or single energy (Group 1b) and a single option in Group 2 (spectral imaging with single source).
resultsIn Group 2, all patients benefited from spectral imaging, only accessible to 105 patients (66.5%) in Group 1, with a mean acquisition time significantly shorter (0.9 ± 0.1 s vs 4.0 ± 0 .3 s; p < 0.001) and mean values of CTDI
conclusionCompared to EID-CT, morphology and perfusion imaging were available in all patients scanned with PCD-CT, with the radiation dose reduced by 48%. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: PCD-CT enables scanning patients with the advantages of both spectral imaging, including high-quality morphologic imaging and lung perfusion for all patients, and fast scanning-a combination that is not simultaneously accessible with EID-CT while reducing the radiation dose by almost 50%.
