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

Total-body PET scans will initiate a new era for the PET clinic. The benefits of 40-fold effective sensitivity improvement provide new capabilities to image with lower radiation dose, perform delayed imaging, and achieve improved temporal resolution. These technical features are detailed in the first of this 2-part series. In this part, the clinical impacts of the novel features of total-body PET scans are further explored. Applications of total-body PET scans focus on the real-time interrogation of systemic disease manifestations in a variety of practical clinical contexts. Total-body PET scans make clinical systems biology imaging a reality.
