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
backgroundRadiomics is not yet used in clinical practice due to concerns regarding its susceptibility to technical factors. We aimed to assess the stability and interscan and interreader reproducibility of myocardial radiomic features between energy-integrating detector computed tomography (EID-CT) and photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) in patients undergoing coronary CT angiography (CCTA) on both systems.
methodsConsecutive patients undergoing clinically indicated CCTA on an EID-CT were prospectively enrolled for a PCD-CT CCTA within 30 days. Virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) at various keV levels and polychromatic images (T3D) were generated for PCD-CT, with image reconstruction parameters standardized between scans. Two readers performed myocardial segmentation and 110 radiomic features were compared intraindividually between EID-CT and PDC-CT series. The agreement of parameters was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient and paired t-test for the stability of the parameters.
resultsEighteen patients (15 males) aged 67.6 ± 9.7 years (mean ± standard deviation) were included. Besides polychromatic PCD-CT reconstructions, 60- and 70-keV VMIs showed the highest feature stability compared to EID-CT (96%, 90%, and 92%, respectively). The interscan reproducibility of features was moderate even in the most favorable comparisons (median ICC 0.50 [interquartile range 0.20-0.60] for T3D; 0.56 [0.33-0.74] for 60 keV; 0.50 [0.36-0.62] for 70 keV). Interreader reproducibility was excellent for the PCD-CT series and good for EID-CT segmentations.
conclusionMost myocardial radiomic features remain stable between EID-CT and PCD-CT. While features demonstrated moderate reproducibility between scanners, technological advances associated with PCD-CT may lead to greater reproducibility, potentially expediting future standardization efforts. RELEVANCE STATEMENT: While the use of PCD-CT may facilitate reduced interreader variability in radiomics analysis, the observed interscanner variations in comparison to EID-CT should be taken into account in future research, with efforts being made to minimize their impact in future radiomics studies. KEY POINTS: Most myocardial radiomic features resulted in being stable between EID-CT and PCD-CT on certain VMIs. The reproducibility of parameters between detector technologies was limited. PCD-CT improved interreader reproducibility of myocardial radiomic features.
