Physics and rationale in pediatric abdomen photon counting detector computed tomography: an investigative review towards development of a pediatric abdomen protocol.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The advent of photon counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) holds the promise of radiation reduction, improved spatial resolution, and spectral data for material decomposition in pediatric abdominal radiology, but effort is required to achieve this. Consensus lacks on what a good pediatric abdominal protocol should entail, and new features and hardware require a learning curve. This investigative review addresses and investigates the key software and hardware parameters of PCD-CT by testing progressively complex phantoms. Based on these tests, a pediatric abdominal PCD-CT protocol was derived for children up to 12 years, and preliminary clinical results are presented. Pediatric radiologists adopting PCD-CT can benefit from our early experience and use this review to adapt the proposed protocol to their needs.
