Review in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02855190 (Pilot Comparative Study of PET/MR and PET/CT With Different Tracers), which is not on this map. Cited by 26 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.

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.

Abstract

PET/MR is a new multimodal imaging technique that is expected to improve diagnostic performance of imaging in conditions in which assessment of changes in soft tissue is important such as prostate cancer. Despite substantial changes in PET technology compared to PET/CT, initial studies have demonstrated that integrated PET/MR provides comparable image quality to that of PET/CT, retaining PET quantification efficacy. In this review we briefly describe technological changes compared to PET/CT that made integrated PET/MR possible, propose acquisition protocols for evaluation of prostate cancer with this new multimodal approach, present initial results concerning the application of PET/MR in prostate cancer, and outline the potential for further clinical applications, focusing on potential incremental value compared to present diagnostic performance.
