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

Increased metabolism in a number of cellular pathways is a common feature of malignant tumors. This metabolic hallmark of neoplastic tissue led to the development of radiopharmaceuticals for the assessment of transport and enzymatic activity for tumor diagnosis and staging. The malignant transformation causes the activation of oncogenic proteins and signaling pathways that stimulate glycolysis. The resulting high-glucose metabolism of cancer cells allows PET imaging using FDG. Other molecules frequently applied in preclinical and clinical studies are ¹¹C-methionine, tyrosine analogs and choline-based tracers. Using quantitative procedures they enable therapy monitoring by assessment of changes in transport and metabolization. As apoptosis is an important mechanism of cell death in tumors responding to treatment, non-invasive assessment of apoptosis using tracers for detection of phosphatidyl-serine presentation and/or caspase activation could be used as a surrogate marker for therapeutic efficacy.
