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

introductionIn head and neck cancers (HNCs), fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is expressed by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the tumor microenvironment. Preliminary evidence suggests that detection and staging is feasible with positron emission tomography (PET/CT) imaging using [

methodsA total of 15 patients with HNCs received both [

resultsAll patients had focal FAPI uptake above background in tumor lesions. Compared to FDG, tumor uptake (median SUVmax 10.2 vs. 7.3, p = 0.008) and tumor-to-background ratios were significantly higher with FAPI than with FDG (SUVmean liver: 9.3 vs. 3.2, p < 0.001; SUVmean bloodpool: 6.9 vs. 4.0, p < 0.001). A total of 49 lesions were recorded. Of these, 40 (82%) were FDG

conclusionWe demonstrate that [
