Choroid Plexus as the Best Reference Region for Standardized Uptake Value Analysis on C11-Acetate PET/CT for Grading and Predicting Prognosis in Patients with Cerebral Gliomas.
Article in Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeWe aimed to compare different reference regions and select one with the most clinical relevance on C11-acetate (ACE) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with cerebral glioma.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 51 patients with cerebral glioma who underwent baseline ACE PET/CT at diagnosis. Other than the standardized uptake value (SUV) of the primary tumor, SUVs of the reference regions including the normal gray matter, white matter, choroid plexus, and cerebellum were measured. Then, the SUV ratio (SUV
resultsExcept for the cerebellum showing a mild negative correlation, we found no correlations between age and SUV
conclusionOf the different reference regions used for grading cerebral gliomas, the choroid plexus was found to be the most optimal. In addition, the SUV ratio is useful to predict the overall survival in the model with the choroid plexus as a reference region.
