1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPhoton counting detectors (PCDs) for x-ray computed tomography (CT) are the future of CT imaging. At present, semiconductor-based PCDs such as cadmium telluride (CdTe), cadmium zinc telluride, and silicon have been either used or investigated for clinical PCD CT. Unfortunately, all of them have the same major challenges, namely high cost and limited spectral signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Recent studies showed that some high-quality scintillators, such as lanthanum bromide doped with cerium (LaBr PURPOSE: The objective of this study is to assess the performance of a LaBr

methodsWe performed Monte Carlo simulations and compared the performance of 3 mm thick LaBr

resultsThe spectrum recorded by CdTe was distorted significantly due to charge sharing, whereas the spectra recorded by LaBr

conclusionThe Monte Carlo simulations showed that, compared to CdTe with either TS or DB, LaBr
