Does the SUVmax of FDG-PET/CT Correlate with the ADC Values of DWI in Musculoskeletal Malignancies?
Article in Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.

purposeTo evaluate the correlation of maximum standardized uptake values (SUV
methodsInstitutional ethics committee approved this retrospective study. Twenty-seven patients (mean age: 44.85 ± 24.07; 17 men and 10 women) with a total of 29 musculoskeletal tumors underwent both FDG-PET/CT and DWI between January 2017 and March 2020. Region-of-interest (ROI)-based maximal standardized uptake values (SUV
resultsThere were 18 soft tissue tumors (62.1%) and 11 bone tumors (37.9%) with a mean maximum diameter of 9.4 ± 6.2 cm. The mean SUV
conclusionIn musculoskeletal tumors, quantitative markers of FDG uptake and diffusion restriction strongly correlate.
