Review in Neuro-oncology advances. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06492486 (Glioma Adaptive Radiotherapy With Development of an Artificial Intelligence Workflow), which is not on this map. Cited by 66 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Over the past decades, a variety of PET tracers have been used for the evaluation of patients with brain tumors. For clinical routine, the most important clinical indications for PET imaging in patients with brain tumors are the identification of neoplastic tissue including the delineation of tumor extent for the further diagnostic and therapeutic management (ie, biopsy, resection, or radiotherapy planning), the assessment of response to a certain anticancer therapy including its (predictive) effect on the patients' outcome and the differentiation of treatment-related changes (eg, pseudoprogression and radiation necrosis) from tumor progression at follow-up. To serve medical professionals of all disciplines involved in the diagnosis and care of patients with brain tumors, this review summarizes the value of PET imaging for the latter-mentioned 3 clinically relevant indications in patients with glioma, meningioma, and brain metastases.
