The value of dual-energy spectral CT in differentiating the pathological grades of T1-size lung adenocarcinoma.

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: Accurate preoperative diagnosis of pathological grades in T1-sized lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is crucial for clinical decision-making. The study aimed to investigate the value of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in distinguishing pathological grades in newly diagnosed LUAD lesions ≤3 cm in size. Methods: From October 2018 to January 2022, 137 patients with 161 pathologically confirmed LUAD lesions (≤3 cm) having received DECT were retrospectively enrolled with clinical information collected (low-grade: high-grade =41:120). CT values of monochromatic images at 40-140 keV, effective atomic number (Z Results: There were significant differences in CT values of 40-140 keV and Z Conclusions: In addition to clinical features, single-energy CT values hold the potential to differentiate the pathological grade of T1-size LUAD.
