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

Novel parameters in PET imaging, such as volumetric parameters, are gaining interest in the scientific literature, but the role of dopaminergic tumor volume (DTV) and total lesion F-DOPA activity (TLDA) and the correlation between volumetric and SUV-derived parameters are not well defined yet. One hundred and thirty-three patients that underwent 18F-FDOPA imaging for primary brain tumors were included in this retrospective study. SUV-derived indices were calculated (the occipital region was chosen to generate ratios of tumor SUV) and compared with volumetric parameters. Regression models were applied in univariate analysis and lnSUVmax was positively associated with lnDTV (beta 0.42,
