FDG-PET in patients at risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome: a preliminary report.
Article in Intensive care medicine, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
objectiveTo compare the pattern of lung uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with lung contusion that developed or did not progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
designProspective, observational study.
settingTrauma Center (academic urban hospital). PATIENTS AND
interventionsEight patients with blunt thoracic trauma and pulmonary contusion, confirmed by computed tomography (CT) on admission, underwent repeat CT and FDG-PET (on the same day) 24-72 h after admission.
resultsNo subjects met the criteria for ARDS at the time of the PET and second CT. Four subjects subsequently developed ARDS 1-3 days after the PET scan; the other four did not develop the syndrome. Three of the four subjects who subsequently developed ARDS showed diffuse FDG uptake throughout the entire lungs, while those who did not develop ARDS showed significant FDG uptake only in areas of focal lung opacity (non or poorly aerated lung units) on CT. FDG uptake in normally aerated lung regions was higher for those who subsequently developed ARDS than those who did not, approaching statistical significance. The normally aerated tissue:liver ratio was significantly higher in subjects who developed ARDS than in those who did not (P = 0.029).
conclusionIn this small series of patients with thoracic trauma, diffuse lung uptake of FDG was detected by PET imaging 1-3 days prior to clinically determined ARDS.
