Desmoid tumour (aggressive fibromatosis) of the colon mimics malignancy on dual time-point 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A 58-year-old female who presented with a lower gastrointestinal bleed was referred for an (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT after a colonoscopy revealed a submucosal mass in the ascending colon. The PET/CT confirmed the presence of an FDG-avid mass in the ascending colon with no other FDG-avid abnormalities. Dual time-point imaging was performed and showed a significant increase in FDG uptake in the mass, which raised strong suspicion of a colon malignancy. Although an initial biopsy of the mass did not show evidence of neoplasia, a decision was made to proceed with a right hemicolectomy based on high clinical and imaging suspicion of malignancy. Histological evaluation of the hemicolectomy revealed a benign colon desmoid tumour.
