Article in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesTo evaluate the impact of morphological information derived from contrast-enhanced CT in the characterization of incidental focal colonic uptake in
methodsA total of 125 patients (female: n = 53, male: n = 72) that underwent colonoscopy secondary to contrast-enhanced, full-dose PET/CT without special bowel preparation were included in this retrospective study. PET/CT examinations were assessed for focal colonic tracer uptake in comparison with the background. Focal tracer uptake was correlated with morphological changes of the colonic wall in the contrast-enhanced CT images. Colonoscopy reports were evaluated for benign, inflammatory, polypoid, precancerous, and cancerous lesions verified by histopathology, serving as a reference standard. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy for detection of therapeutic relevant findings were calculated for (a) sole focal tracer uptake and (b) focal tracer uptake with correlating CT findings in contrast-enhanced CT.
