Method to determine the statistical technical variability of SUV metrics.
Article in EJNMMI physics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundThe Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) Max, SUVMean, and SUVPeak are metrics used to quantify positron emission tomography (PET) images. In order to assess the significance of a change in these metrics for diagnostic purposes, it is relevant to know their variation. The sources of variation can be biological or technical. In this study, we present a method to determine the statistical technical variation of SUV in PET images.
resultsThis method was tested on a NEMA quality phantom with spheres of various diameters with a full-length acquisition time of 150 s per bed position and foreground-to-background activity ratio of F
conclusionsWith the presented method, we aim to determine the statistical technical variation of SUV. The method enables the evaluation of the effect of SUV metric choice (Max, Mean, Peak) and lesion size on the technical variation and, therefore, to evaluate its relevance on the total variation of the SUV value between clinical studies.
