Clinical usefulness of FDG-PET in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing surgical resection.
Article in Annals of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
BACKGROUNDS/
aimsDiagnosis and staging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is critical because of the variety of treatment methods and prognosis. [
methodsWe retrospectively collected data of 56 patients that underwent FDG-PET before surgical resection for HCC March 2011-May 2017, all of whom were suitable for resection by conventional HCC staging. Results of the maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) were compared with histological confirmation.
resultsA larger tumor size was related with higher SUVmax (≥4.9). The serum alpha-feto protein was associated with SUVmax. Recurrence rate was higher in patients with higher SUVmax and patients with lower SUVmax had a better survival rate.
conclusionsThe SUVmax correlates well with tumor size and factors associated with biological behavior of HCC such as alpha-feto protein, and it could be a beneficial modality in providing prognostic information for HCC.
