Diagnostic performance of zero-TE lung MR imaging in FDG PET/MRI for pulmonary malignancies.
Article in European radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the lung zero-echo time (ZTE) sequence in FDG PET/MRI for detection and differentiation of lung lesions in oncologic patients in comparison with conventional two-point Dixon-based MR imaging.
methodsIn this single-institution retrospective study approved by the institutional review board, 209 patients with malignancies (97 men and 112 women; age range, 17-89 years; mean age, 66.5 ± 12.9 years) underwent
resultsBased on the reference standard, 227 lung lesions were identified in 113 patients. The detectability of PET/ZTE was significantly better than that of PET/Dixon for overall lesions, lesions with a SUVmax less than 3.0 and lesions smaller than 4 mm (p < 0.01). The diagnostic performance of PET/ZTE was significantly better than that of PET/Dixon for overall lesions and lesions smaller than 4 mm (p < 0.01).
conclusionsZTE can improve diagnostic performance in the detection and differentiation of both FDG-avid and non-FDG-avid lung lesions smaller than 4 mm in size, yielding a promising tool to enhance the utility of FDG PET/MRI in oncology patients with lung lesions. KEY POINTS: • The detection rate of PET/ZTE for lesions with a SUVmax of less than 1.0 was significantly better than that of PET/Dixon. • The performance for differentiation of PET/ZTE for lesions that were even smaller than 4 mm in size were significantly better than that of PET/Dixon. • Inter-rater agreement of PET/ZTE for the differentiation of lesions less than 4 mm in size was substantial and better than that of PET/Dixon.
