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 use of positron emission tomography for clinical diagnostics has grown rapidly over the past 2 decades. This growth has mainly been due to advances in scanner technology, and particularly the introduction of the combined PET/CT scanner, and has been based almost exclusively on one PET radiopharmaceutical ([(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose), which is broadly applicable to cancer patients. The availability of radiopharmaceuticals and the clinical diagnostic potential of PET has also supported the continued development of the scanner technology. Due to the efforts of many researchers worldwide in the field of radiopharmaceutical sciences, we are now seeing an increasing number of radiopharmaceuticals used for routine clinical diagnostic imaging. This article is intended as a short educational review, giving a brief overview of the design, preparation and use of PET radiopharmaceuticals, with some examples of highly clinically relevant PET tracers.
