Radiotherapy planning of lymphomas: role of metabolic imaging with PET/CT.
Review in Annals of nuclear medicine, 2022. 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.

Abstract
Accurate target delineation is an absolute requirement for modern radiotherapy planning. Historically, structural imaging modalities have been used for this purpose, but there is a considerable role for functional imaging with PET/CT to contribute in this area. PET/CT's role in radiotherapy planning is well established and its use is indispensable in the clinical management of the lymphomas, particularly Hodgkin Lymphoma. A crucial use of PET/CT is as a baseline scan for delineation of the initial lymphomatous involvement, since this will determine the contouring of the gross-, clinical- and planning-target volumes (GTV, CTV, PTV). This article reviews the principles of contemporary radiotherapy, examines the evidence for the contribution of PET/CT to radiotherapy planning in lymphoma and the practicalities and challenges of applying this powerful technology to this situation.
