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 objective of this review is to present an argument for performing joint analyses between functional imaging with global gene expression studies. The reason for making this link is that tumor microenvironmental influences on functional imaging can be uncovered. Such knowledge can lead to (1) more informed decisions regarding how to use functional imaging to guide therapy and (2) discovery of new therapeutic targets. As such, this approach could lead to identification of patients who need aggressive treatment tailored toward the phenotype of their tumor vs those who could be spared treatment that carries risk for more normal tissue complications. Only a handful of papers have been published on this topic thus far, but all show substantial promise.
