Review in European journal of pediatrics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.

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

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are among the most common malignancies of childhood. (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) can be employed for accurate staging, treatment planning, and response assessment in pediatric patients with lymphomas, taking advantage of the increased FDG uptake of the malignant cells, secondary to their increased metabolic needs. FDG PET has higher sensitivity than other imaging modalities to detect nodular or diffuse lesions and higher sensitivity than bone marrow biopsy to detect bone marrow infiltration. FDG PET consists of an invaluable imaging modality during evaluation and treatment of pediatric lymphomas.
