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

Functional imaging is playing an increasingly important role in pediatric radiology. Hybrid imaging techniques utilizing PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography), PET/MRI (positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging), or SPECT/CT (single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography) are now available in nearly every clinical practice. There are an increasing number of indications for the use of functional imaging, including oncologic and infectious indications, and it is essential to select and design the hybrid imaging protocol in order to optimize both the functional and anatomic components of the examination. Optimizing the protocol includes strategies for dose reduction, judicious use of contrast media and diagnostic quality imaging as appropriate, and for the greatest reduction in exposure to ionizing radiation, utilizing PET/MRI, whenever available. This review will provide an overview of hybrid imaging protocol considerations with a focus on oncologic and infectious indications.
