Ultra-High-Resolution Photon-Counting CT Angiography for Noninvasive Detection of Neurovascular In-Stent Restenosis.

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
backgroundNoninvasive detection of neurovascular in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains challenging because of blooming artifacts and limited spatial resolution on conventional computed tomography angiography (CTA). Ultra-high-resolution (UHR) photon-counting detector CTA (PCD-CTA) may offer an improved approach for accurate ISR detection, potentially overcoming these challenges.
methodsIn this prospective study, consecutive patients who had undergone neurovascular stent implantation were enrolled at The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between July and November 2025. All participants underwent UHR PCD-CTA. Simulated energy-integrating detector CTA data sets were reconstructed from the same raw data to approximate conventional CTA for comparison. Two blinded radiologists independently assessed subjective image quality, diagnostic confidence for ISR, and visualization of in-stent intimal hyperplasia and low-attenuation plaque in stents without restenosis. Diagnostic performance for ISR detection was evaluated on a stent-based level, using digital subtraction angiography as the reference standard when available.
resultsForty-three participants (mean age, 63.1 years ± 9.5; 8 women) with 51 stents were included. ISR was present in 14 stents and absent in 37; digital subtraction angiography was available for 26 stents, including all stents with ISR. Compared with simulated energy-integrating detector CTA, UHR PCD-CTA demonstrated significantly higher subjective image quality (
conclusionsUHR PCD-CTA demonstrates high diagnostic performance for noninvasive detection of neurovascular ISR and may serve as a promising tool for poststent surveillance.
