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

Integrated positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) is a useful tool for acquisition of both glucose metabolic and anatomic imaging data using a single device in a single diagnostic session, and has opened a new field in clinical oncologic imaging. FDG-PET/CT has been used successfully for the diagnosis, initial staging, restaging, early treatment response assessment, evaluation of metastatic disease response, and prognostication of breast cancer as well as various malignant tumors. We herein review the current place and role of FDG-PET/CT in the management of breast cancer, focusing on its usefulness and limitations in the imaging of these patients.
