The role of FDG PET/CT in therapy control of aortic graft infection.
Article in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01821664 (Vascular Graft Infections - Epidemiology, Best Treatment Options, Imaging Modalities and Impact of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
purpose
methodsParticipants of the prospective Vascular Graft Infection Cohort Study (VASGRA) were included if they had microbiologically proven AGI. We quantified the metabolic activity in PET/CT by using maximum standardized uptake value (SUV
resultsSixty-eight participants with AGI contributed to 266 PET/CTs including 36 examinations performed after stop of antimicrobial therapy. Higher C-reactive protein (CRP) (adjusted coefficient per log
conclusionsConsecutive PET/CTs could influence the clinical decision-making in patients with AGI in the near future. More studies on the use of PET/CT in case of aortic graft infection may offer the potential for individualized treatment approaches. CLINICALTRIALS. GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT01821664.
