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

Tumor response assessments are essential to evaluate cancer treatment efficacy and prognosticate survival in patients with cancer. Response criteria have evolved over multiple decades, including many imaging modalities and measurement schema. Advances in FDG-PET/CT have led to tumor response criteria that harness the power of metabolic imaging. Qualitative PET/CT assessment schema are easy to apply clinically, are reproducible, and yield good prognostic results. We present 3 such criteria, namely, the Lugano classification for lymphoma, the Hopkins criteria, and the Neck Imaging Reporting and Data Systems criteria for head and neck cancers. When comparing baseline PET/CTs with interim or end-of-treatment PET/CTs, radiologists can classify the tumor response as complete metabolic response, partial metabolic response, no metabolic response, or progressive disease, which has important implications in directing further cancer management and long-term patient prognosis. The purpose of this article is to review the progression of tumor response assessments from CT- and PET/CT-based quantitative and semi-quantitative systems to PET/CT-based qualitative systems; introduce the classification schema for these systems; and describe how to use these rapid, powerful, and qualitative PET/CT-based systems in daily practice through illustrative cases.
