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

objectiveThe higher sensitivity of the new-generation positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) may increase false-positive rates in detecting metastatic lymph nodes (LNs). This study aimed to clarify the usefulness of the SiPM PET scanner in diagnosing LN metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed consecutive F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT images of 39 SCC patients using SiPM PET and 31 SCC patients using non-SiPM PET. We measured the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV

resultsThe sensitivity and specificity of SiPM PET were 86.2% and 95.6%, respectively (cut-off SUV

conclusionSiPM PET had higher diagnostic accuracy for LN metastasis of oral SCC than non-SiPM PET, even for small LN metastasis without increasing false-positives.
