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

purposeTo investigate the feasibility of ultra-low-activity total-body positron emission tomography (PET) dynamic imaging for quantifying kinetic metrics of 2-[

methodsDynamic total-body PET imaging was performed in 20 healthy volunteers, with eight using full activity (3.7 MBq/kg) of

resultsAll constant rates, corresponding CoVs, and image contrast in different organs were comparable with none significant differences between full- and ultra-low-activity groups. PET images in the ultra-low-activity group generated significantly lower effective radiation dose (median, 0.419 vs. 4.886 mSv, P < 0.001), reduced prompt counts (median, 2.79 vs. 55.68 billion, P < 0.001), and smaller data size (median, 71.11 vs. 723.18 GB, P < 0.001).

conclusionTotal-body dynamic PET imaging using 10× reduction of injected activity could achieve relevant kinetic metrics of
