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: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is a promising technique, which can provide unique capability for material quantification. The iterative reconstruction of material maps requires spectral information and its accuracy is affected by spectral mismatch. Simultaneously estimating the spectra and reconstructing material maps avoids extra workload on spectrum estimation and the negative impact of spectral mismatch. However, existing methods are not satisfactory in image detail preservation, edge retention, and convergence rate. The purpose of this paper was to mine the similarity between the reconstructed images and the material images to improve the imaging quality, and to design an effective iteration strategy to improve the convergence efficiency. Methods: The material-image subspace decomposition-based iterative reconstruction (MISD-IR) with spectrum estimation was proposed for DECT. MISD-IR is an optimized model combining spectral estimation and material reconstruction with fast convergence speed and promising noise suppression capability. We proposed to reconstruct the material maps based on extended simultaneous algebraic reconstruction techniques and estimation of the spectrum with model spectral. To stabilize the iteration and alleviate the influence of errors, we introduced a weighted proximal operator based on the block coordinate descending algorithm (WP-BCD). Furthermore, the reconstructed computed tomography (CT) images were introduced to suppress the noise based on subspace decomposition, which relies on non-local regularization to prevent noise accumulation. Results: In numerical experiments, the results of MISD-IR were closer to the ground truth compared with other methods. In real scanning data experiments, the results of MISD-IR showed sharper edges and details. Compared with other one-step iterative methods in the experiment, the running time of MISD-IR was reduced by 75%. Conclusions: The proposed MISD-IR can achieve accurate material decomposition (MD) without known energy spectrum in advance, and has good retention of image edges and details. Compared with other one-step iterative methods, it has high convergence efficiency.
