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

After a brief history of the major evolutions of positron emission tomography since its introduction in 1972, this article reviews the recent improvements and novel trends in positron emission tomography with a special focus on the time of flight that is currently the major research topic. Novel emerging acquisition modalities, such as dual tracer acquisition, inline hadron therapy dose imaging and yttrium-90 imaging are reviewed.
