Unforeseen COVID-19 on Oncologic Bone Scan with SPECT/CT in a High Prevalence Area
Article in Molecular imaging and radionuclide therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 65-year-old woman with known diabetes and hypertension underwent a technetium methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m MDP) bone scan with single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) for shoulder pain. She was initially treated for breast cancer and later for hepatocellular carcinoma. SPECT/CT showed MDP nonavid and scattered pulmonary ground-glass opacities bilaterally along with rounded nodular densities. Another 56-year-old patient who was newly diagnosed with right breast invasive ductal carcinoma underwent a bone scan with SPECT/CT, which revealed bilateral pulmonary infiltrates. Both patients later tested positive for Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, nuclear physicians should be watchful of findings related to COVID-19 on SPECT/CT thorax as this is becoming the new normal.
