Refining imaging parameters for dual-energy cone-beam computed tomography in image-guided radiation therapy.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo develop a dose estimation method for virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) derived from sequential dual-energy (DE) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), enhancing image quality while reducing imaging dose. The goal is to generate VMIs with lower imaging dose than standard CBCT for future clinical applications. MATERIALS AND
methodsNormalized air kerma (K
resultsThe average difference between estimated and measured K
conclusionThis pilot study demonstrates that VMIs can improve CNR and HU uniformity while reducing imaging dose by up to 40%, relative to the PLP, without compromising HU accuracy. Our approach offers potential for optimizing VMIs by balancing image quality enhancement and dose reduction. Future work will focus on the application of advanced reconstruction algorithms to further improve VMIs quality.
