1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeMetabolic parameters are increasingly being used to characterize tumors. Motion artifacts due to patient respiration introduce uncertainties in quantification of metabolic parameters during positron emission tomography (PET) image acquisition. The present study investigates the impact of amplitude-based optimal respiratory gating (ORG) on quantification of PET-derived image features in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), in correlation with overall survival (OS).

methodsSixty-nine patients with histologically proven primary PDAC underwent 2'-deoxy-2'-[

resultsORG significantly impacts the quantification of nearly all features; values of single-voxel parameters (e.g., SUV

conclusionsCorrection for respiratory motion artifacts using ORG impacts the quantification of metabolic parameters in PDAC lesions. The correlation of metabolic parameters with OS was significantly affected, in particular parameters that describe intra-tumor heterogeneity. Therefore, interpretation of single-voxel or average metabolic parameters in relation to clinical outcome should be done cautiously. Furthermore, ORG is a valuable tool to improve quantification of intra-tumoral heterogeneity in PDAC.
