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

The importance of inflammation to atherothrombosis has led to the pursuit of noninvasive imaging methods to measure inflammation within the arterial wall. There is substantial evidence supporting the use of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging for evaluation of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation. However, coronary imaging with this technique has been limited, due to several technical hurdles. Nonetheless, early experiences in coronary FDG-PET imaging have been encouraging. This review outlines the development of vascular PET imaging and its potential use for evaluation of coronary artery disease.
