Number of energy windows for photon counting detectors: is more actually more?
Article in Journal of medical imaging (Bellingham, Wash.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: It has been debated whether photon counting detectors (PCDs) with moderate numbers of energy windows ( Approach: We obtained the following three types of PCD data with various Results: For both the e-noise-free and realistic PCDs, the CRLB improved monotonically with increasing Conclusion: For realistic PCDs, the quality of the spectral information monotonically improves with increasing
