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

Fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/computed tomography combines the high sensitivity of PET with the excellent spatial resolution provided by computed tomography, making it a potentially powerful tool for capturing and quantifying early vascular diseases. Patients with chronic inflammatory states have an increased risk of cardiovascular events; there is also increased vascular fluorodeoxyglucose uptake seen compared with healthy controls. This review examines the use of fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/computed tomography in assessing low-grade vascular inflammation in chronic inflammation and then reviews fluorodeoxyglucose-PET/computed tomography as a tool in monitoring the efficacy of various treatments known to modulate cardiovascular disease.
