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

The LabPET II is a new positron emission tomography technology platform designed to achieve submillimetric spatial resolution imaging using fully pixelated avalanche photodiodes-based detectors and highly integrated parallel front-end processing electronics. The detector was designed as a generic building block to develop devices for preclinical imaging of small to mid-sized animals and for clinical imaging of the human brain. The aim of this work is to assess the physical characteristics and imaging performance of the mouse version of LabPET II scanner following the NEMA NU4-2008 standard and using high resolution phantoms and in vivo imaging applications. A reconstructed spatial resolution of 0.78 mm (0.5 μ l) is measured close to the center of the radial field of view. With an energy window of 350 650 keV, the system absolute sensitivity is 1.2% and its maximum noise equivalent count rate reaches 61.1 kcps at 117 MBq. Submillimetric spatial resolution is achieved in a hot spot phantom and tiny bone structures were resolved with unprecedented contrast in the mouse. These results provide convincing evidence of the capabilities of the LabPET II technology for biomolecular imaging in preclinical research.
