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

backgroundCentiloid (CL) scaling has become a standardized quantitative measure in amyloid PET because it facilitates the direct comparison of results across institutions, even when different analytical methods or tracers are used. Standard volumes of interest must be used to calculate the CL scale after the anatomic standardization of amyloid PET images using coregistered MRI; if the MRI is unavailable, the CL scale cannot be accurately calculated. This study sought to determine the substitutability of low-dose CT, which is used to correct PET attenuation in PET/CT equipment, by evaluating the measurement accuracy when low-dose CT is used as an alternative to MRI in the calculation of the CL scale. Amyloid PET images obtained using

conclusionsLow-dose CT of PET/CT can substitute for MRI in the anatomic standardization used to calculate the CL scale from amyloid PET, although a slight underestimation occurs.
