FDG PET/CT used in identifying adult-onset Still's disease in connective tissue diseases.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
purposeTo explore the
methodsFDG PET/CT images of 54 patients with AOSD and 66 with other CTD from patients suffering from fever of unknown origin (FUO) were retrospectively studied and compared with 40 healthy controls. Clinical and PET/CT characteristics of AOSD and other CTDs were compared, and SUV
resultsPositive findings are presented in 53/54 (98.1%) AOSD patients and 61/66 (92.4%) other CTD patients in PET/CT imaging. AOSD manifested as diffusely increased FDG uptake in the spleen and bone marrow, and multiple reactive hyperplasia lymph nodes are symmetrically distributed mainly in the neck and axilla, while other organs were seldom involved. Although these abnormalities could be seen in other CTDs, its incidence and uptake value were both higher in AOSD. If two or more of the following three standard were met, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of diagnosing AOSD could reach 90.7%, 92.4%, and 91.7%, respectively: ① spleen SUV
conclusionCharacteristic manifestations in AOSD were found on FDG PET/CT. These findings could help to identify AOSD from the other CTDs, especially in cases of fever of unknown origin, where it can assist in identifying the cause. Key Points • Image characteristics of FDG PET/CT in adult-onset Still's disease were described. • FDG PET/CT helps in identifying adult-onset Still's disease from the other connective tissue diseases. • FDG PET/CT imaging standard for diagnosing adult-onset Still's disease were established.
