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

purposeFAPI-PET is a promising imaging technique for various malignant as well as non-malignant pathologies. In a recent retrospective analysis, we evaluated the diagnostic value of repetitive early FAPI-PET-imaging with FAPI-02, FAPI-46 and FAPI-74 for malignant, inflammatory/reactive and degenerative pathologies. Here, we apply a subgroup analysis to that dataset and describe the tracer-wise uptake kinetic behavior of multiple types of FAPI-positive lesions, which are encountered frequently during clinical routine.

methodsA total of 24 cancer patients underwent whole-body FAPI-PET scans, and images were acquired at 10, 22, 34, 46 and 58 min after the administration of 150-250 MBq of

resultsDifferential uptake behavior over time was observed in several subclasses of malignant lesions, inflammatory/reactive lesions and degenerative lesions. These differences over time were particularly manifested in the direct comparison between the uptakes associated with pancreatic carcinoma (stable or increasing over time) and inflammatory lesions of the pancreas (markedly decreasing over time). Furthermore, marked differences were found between the three tracer variants regarding their time-dependent uptake and TBRs within different subclasses of malignant, inflammatory/reactive and degenerative pathologies.

conclusionMultiple timepoint FAPI-PET/CT is a promising innovative imaging technique that provides additional imaging information compared to single timepoint imaging. Differences in the kinetic behavior of malignant and benign pathologies can facilitate the interpretation of FAPI-positive lesions.
