A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Prognostic Impact of Pretreatment Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Parameters in Patients with Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer Treated with Concomitant Chemoradiotherapy.
Review in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundsThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the prognostic value of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) parameters in patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).
methodsStudies that met the following criteria were retrieved from PubMed and Embase: patients treated with CCRT for LACC; FDG PET/CT scans performed before CCRT treatment; and a detected relationship between the parameters of FDG PET/CT and the prognosis of patients. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate the overall survival (OS) or event-free survival (EFS).
resultsIn total, 14 eligible studies with 1313 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Patients with a high maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) have a shorter OS than those with a low SUV
conclusionA high primary SUVmax has a significant correlation with the OS and EFS of patients treated with CCRT for LACC and may therefore serve as a prognostic predictor. Due to the limited data, to explore the correlation between survival and TLG, MTV, and nodal SUVmax, further large-scale prospective studies are needed.
