PET Probe-Guided Surgery in Patients with Breast Cancer: Proposal for a Methodological Approach.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07331532 (PET Imaging Study of 68Ga-PFA2 Probe for Annexin A2-Positive Tumors), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 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.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough it is valuable for detecting distant metastases, identifying recurrence, and evaluating responses to chemotherapy, the role of PATIENTS AND
methodsThree patients underwent a PET/CT scan immediately prior to surgery following the standard clinical protocol. Intraoperatively, tumors were localized and resected with the assistance of a hand-held gamma probe. PET-guided assessment of the presence or absence of regional nodal spread of malignancy was compared with the reference standard of histopathological examination.
resultsIn all three cases, perioperative
conclusionThis innovative approach demonstrates great promise for providing real-time access to metabolic and morphological tumor information that may lead to an optimal disease-tailored approach. In carefully selected indications, a PET probe can be a useful adjunct in surgical practice, but further trials with a larger number of patients need to be performed to verify these findings.
