1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of tumor hypoxia as a result of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) by measuring the changes of [(18)F]fluoromisonidazole ([(18)F]FMISO) positron emission tomography (PET) uptake, as well as to look into the ability of [(18)F]FMISO PET to predict the NAC result. PROCEDURES: A total of 13 patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma underwent [(18)F]FMISO PET scans before and after NAC. For analysis of PET index, maximum standardized uptake value, tumor-to-muscle ratio, and hypoxic volume (HV) were measured.

resultsAll PET indexes of [(18)F]FMISO significantly decreased after NAC. Although HV in primary tumor and a few indexes before NAC in responder was lower than that in nonresponder, none of the indexes were statistically significant.

conclusionsPretreatment [(18)F]FMISO could not predict NAC outcome in this study. However, [(18)F]FMISO uptake significantly decreased after NAC, and [(18)F]FMISO PET seemed to be a useful noninvasive tool for detecting hypoxia reduction after NAC.
