EANM guidelines for PET-CT and PET-MR routine quality control.
Review in Zeitschrift fur medizinische Physik, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
We present guidelines by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) for routine quality control (QC) of PET-CT and PET-MR systems. These guidelines are partially based on the current EANM guidelines for routine quality control of Nuclear Medicine instrumentation but focus more on the inherent multimodal aspect of the current, state-of-the-art PET-CT and PET-MR scanners. We briefly discuss the regulatory context put forward by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and European Commission (EC) and consider relevant guidelines and recommendations by other societies and professional organizations. As such, a comprehensive overview of recommended quality control procedures is provided to ensure the optimal operational status of a PET system, integrated with either a CT or MR system. In doing so, we also discuss the rationale of the different tests, advice on the frequency of each test and present the relevant MR and CT tests for an integrated system. In addition, we recommend a scheme of preventive actions to avoid QC tests from drifting out of the predefined range of acceptable performance values such that an optimal performance of the PET system is maintained for routine clinical use.
