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

O-(2-[F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FET PET/CT) is well known in brain tumor management. Our study aimed to identify the prognostic value of F-FET PET/CT in high-grade gliomas (HGG) according the current 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification.Patients with histologically proven WHO 2016 HGG were prospectively included. A dynamic F-FET PET/CT was performed allowing to obtain 2 static PET frames (static frame 1: 20-40 minutes and static frame 2: 2-22 minutes). We analyzed static parameters (standard uptake value [SUV]max, SUVmean, SUVpeak, TBRmax, TBRmean, tumoral lesion glycolysis, and metabolic tumoral volume) for various isocontours (from 10% to 90%). PET parameters, clinical features, and molecular biomarkers were compared with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in univariate and multivariate analysis.Twenty-nine patients were included (grade III n = 3, grade IV n = 26). Mean PFS and OS were, respectively, 8.8 and 13.9 months. According to univariate analysis, SUVmean, SUVpeak, TBRmax, and TBRmean were significantly correlated with OS. In static 1 analysis, TBRmax seemed to be the best OS prognostic parameter (P = .004). In static 2 analysis, TBRmean was the best parameter (P = .01). In static 1 analysis, only SUVpeak was significant (P = .05) for PFS. Good performance status (PS < 2; P < .0001) and extent of resection (P = .019) identified the subgroup of patients with the best OS. Only TBRmax (P = .026) and extent of resection (P = .025) remained significant parameters in multivariate analysis.Our data suggested that high TBRmax seemed to be the most significant OS independent prognostic factor in patients with newly diagnosed HGG.
