Variations in PET/MRI Operations: Results from an International Survey Among 39 Active Sites.
Article in Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Information has been collected from PET/MRI operational sites to identify its present and future applications. This may help to focus discussions on common interests of the PET/MRI community.
methodsA web-based survey of PET/MRI users was conducted from June to October 2015. The survey was composed of 26 questions related to the PET/MRI center, present use and imaging protocols, and perspectives on key applications.
resultsResponses were collected from 39 international sites that operated PET/MRI for a median of 30 mo (range, 2-62 mo). Most installations were located in public institutions with an academic focus (n = 26, 67%). Systems were primarily operated by nuclear medicine departments (n = 13, 33%), jointly by nuclear medicine and radiology (n = 11, 28%), and radiology only (n = 10, 26%). PET/MRI operation was equally focused on clinic routine and research (47% vs. 45% of sites, respectively). Sites reported a strong focus on oncology (76% of research and 88% of clinical applications). Other applications included neurology (9% clinical, 12% research) and cardiology (3% clinical, 6% research). Perceived superiority over PET/CT was identified as the strongest driver for clinical adoption. Over half the operators expect PET/MRI to excel in clinical routine within 3-5 y. Emerging key applications for future PET/MRI use were cardiovascular disease and imaging of inflammation.
conclusionAn international survey of early PET/MR adopters reveals a mixed use of this combined imaging modality, with a focus on oncology. The future of PET/MRI is seen in expanded application for oncology and neurology, but also cardiovascular disease and inflammation.
