Quantitative analysis of image metrics for reduced and standard dose pediatric
Trial report in The British journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objective: The study performs a comprehensive analysis of image metrics to objectively support the reduction of injected activity in pediatric oncology
methods: 21 PET/MRI examinations performed on a 3-Tesla Biograph mMR scanner were analyzed. Tracer activity reduction was stimulated by decreasing the count statistics of the original list-mode data (3 MBq kg
results: SUVmax and SUVmean increased more than 5% only in 0.6 MBq kg
conclusion: Results about the stability of image metrics beyond the semi-quantitative SUV parameters and subjective analysis, rigorously proves the feasibility of the reduction of injected activity to 1.5 MBqkg ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE:: This is the first report on the quantitative evaluation of the effect of activity reduction on image quality in pediatric PET/MR. The findings offer objective corroboration to the feasibility of a significant dose reduction without consequences on clinical image reading and tumor burden metrics.
