Renal osteodystrophy presenting as a metabolic superscan on F-18 FDG PET/CT: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
rationaleF-18 Fluoro Deoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) is a useful modality in the evaluation of patients with malignancies. Increased incidence of lympho-proliferative disorders has been reported in individuals with long-standing end-stage renal disorders treated with renal replacement therapy. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 30-year-old male on peritoneal dialysis on account of end-stage renal disease. He had acute rejection of an earlier transplanted renal allograft. He was referred for an F-18 FDG PET/CT based on a clinical suspicion of lymphoma on account of bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathy associated with bilateral pedal swelling. DIAGNOSIS: Renal osteodystrophy was diagnosed based on diffusely intense F-18 FDG uptake in the axial skeleton, focal uptake in the costochondrial junctions and linear cortical uptake in the appendicular skeleton. No findings suggestive of lymphoma was seen.
interventionsA diagnosis of renal osteodystrophy with no evidence of a lymphoma prevented futile biopsy of inguinal lymphadenopathy. Patient continued with peritoneal dialysis with no further intervention OUTCOMES:: Regular follow-up of patient to monitor calcium, phosphate and parathyroid hormone levels. Treatment will be indicated when laboratory results as well as clinical signs and symptoms are suggestive. LESSON: Metabolic bone disorder such as is seen in renal osteodystrophy should be considered in the differential diagnoses in patients with diffusely increased bone uptake on F-18 FDG PET/CT scan.
