The role of ¹⁸F-FDG PET imaging in upper gastrointestinal malignancies.
Review in Current treatment options in oncology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
opinion statementCancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract form a prevalent and highly morbid group of malignancies. Specifically, median survival for patients with esophagus, gastric, and pancreatic cancers is less than 1 year, and although there has been progress in therapeutic strategies, the vast majority of newly diagnosed patients with these cancers will die of their disease. (18)F-FDG PET ((18)f-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography) is a useful but underutilized resource for identifying metastatic disease in the upper gastrointestinal tract. While prevalent in the United States, worldwide, (18)F-FDG PET is underutilized especially in countries with a growing emergence of gastroesophageal cancers, despite evidence of clear benefit in cancer staging, and in some cases response assessment and surveillance.
