Neuroimaging with photon-counting computed tomography: A review of clinical applications.
Review in World journal of radiology, 2025. 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
Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) represents a transformative advancement in neuroimaging, offering superior spatial resolution, spectral imaging capabilities, reduced radiation dose, and enhanced contrast-to-noise ratios. This review explores the technical foundations of PCCT, its advantages over conventional CT, and its growing applications in neuroimaging. PCCT has shown promise in improving neurovascular imaging, detecting small vessels, and reducing artifacts near metallic implants. It also enhances the visualization of spontaneous intracranial hypotension and cerebrospinal fluid leaks and provides superior diagnostic accuracy in acute ischemic stroke imaging. However, current limitations, including protocol complexity, high data volume, and the absence of integrated artificial intelligence noise reduction algorithms, pose challenges to widespread adoption. Future research should address these limitations and refine PCCT's applications to unlock its full clinical potential.
