Photon-Counting Computed Tomography for Microstructural Imaging of Bone and Joints.
Review in Current osteoporosis reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purpose of reviewRecently, photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) has been introduced in clinical research and diagnostics. This review describes the technological advances and provides an overview of recent applications with a focus on imaging of bone. RECENT
findingsPCCT is a full-body scanner with short scanning times that provides better spatial and spectral resolution than conventional energy-integrating-detector CT (EID-CT), along with an up to 50% reduced radiation dose. It can be used to quantify bone mineral density, to perform bone microstructural analyses and to assess cartilage quality with adequate precision and accuracy. Using a virtual monoenergetic image reconstruction, metal artefacts can be greatly reduced when imaging bone-implant interfaces. Current PCCT systems do not allow spectral imaging in ultra-high-resolution (UHR) mode. Given its improved resolution, reduced noise and spectral imaging capabilities PCCT has diagnostic capacities in both qualitative and quantitative imaging that outperform those of conventional CT. Clinical use in monitoring bone health has already been demonstrated. The full potential of PCCT systems will be unlocked when UHR spectral imaging becomes available.
