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

Now that [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has become an established imaging tool in oncology, it is attracting interest in the field of infectious diseases. Several studies have used FDG-PET to examine the pathophysiology of HIV infection as well as other conditions such as lipodystrophic syndrome and HIV-related neurocognitive disorders. In clinical practice, FDG-PET has been proposed to assess fever of unknown origin or with lymphoproliferative disorders such as Castleman disease in individuals with HIV infection.
