Evaluation of Dual Time Point Imaging 18F-FDG PET/CT in Differentiating Malignancy From Benign Gastric Disease.
Article in Medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
To assess the clinical value of dual time point imaging (DTPI) fluorine-18fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT in differentiating malignancy and benign disease of patients with focally increased gastric uptake.Patients who present focally increased 18F-FDG uptake in gastric wall on conventional PET/CT imaging received delayed imaging. PET/CT scans were acquired at 1 and 2 hours (early and delayed imaging) after 18F-FDG injection. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) was calculated. The SUVmax of the early and delayed imaging acquisition were signed S1 and S2, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of the S1, S2, and the retention index (RI) were drawn to find the best cut-off point value for differential diagnosis. Sensitivity, specificity, Youden index, and the area under the curve (AUC) were calculated, respectively.From September 2010 to May 2015, 74 patients (56 male and 18 female; age of 57 ± 12 years; range, 32-86 years) referring for areas of focally increased uptake of 18F-FDG in gastric wall received delayed imaging. The S1 was 5.0 ± 1.4 (range, 1.9-11.3), and S2 was 5.9 ± 2.7 (range, 1.0-16.3). The SUVmax were increased in 52 patients in delayed imaging, with 85% (44/52 cases) appeared malignant; decreased in 20 patients, and 90% (18/20 cases) were benign; 2 patients of benign had not changed. The change of SUVmax between malignant and benign was significant difference (t = -5.785, P = 0.000).Taking the S1, S2, and RI higher than 4.6%, 5.1%, and 13% as positive diagnostic criteria, the sensitivity were 65.2%,87.0%, and 87.0%, respectively; the specificity were 64.3%, 82.1%, and 89.3%; the Youden index were 0.332, 0.693, and 0.770; AUC were 0.635 (95% confidence intervals (95% CI) 0.507-0.764), 0.873 (95% CI, 0.786-0.961), and 0.923 (95% CI, 0.854-0.992).DTPI is more precise to distinct malignant from benign gastric diseases compared with conventional imaging, and it is readily accessible.
