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

objectiveA positron emission tomography (PET) scanner using a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM PET) in place of a photomultiplier tube significantly improves the spatial and time resolution. It may also improve the evaluation of smaller lesions compared to conventional (non-SiPM) PET scanners. We compared the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT features of tongue squamous cell carcinomas in consecutive, newly diagnosed, and pathologically verified patients. Twenty-five of 46 patients were scanned using SiPM PET scanner and the remaining 21 patients were scanned with a non-SiPM PET scanner. We compared the SUV

resultsSUV

conclusionsThe SiPM PET provides better detection sensitivity and a reliable morphological correlation for the T1/T2 primary tongue tumors than the non-SiPM PET due to its high performance.
