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

aim/purposeFibroblast activation protein (FAP) is overexpressed by cancer-associated fibroblasts. However, activated fibroblasts have been shown to play a significant role also in certain benign conditions such as wound healing or chronic inflammation. Therefore, the current study aimed to identify whether FAPI uptake might differ between malignant lesions and benign conditions. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 155 patients with various cancer types who received [

resultsBenign lesions exhibited significantly lower FAPI uptake compared to malignant lesions (mean SUV

conclusionOur aim was to systematically analyze the pattern of FAPI uptake in benign and malignant processes. This investigation demonstrates that FAPI uptake might be useful to differentiate malignant and benign findings due to different patho-physiological origins.
