Head-to-head intra-individual comparison of total-body 2-[
Article in European radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.

methodsThis study enrolled 67 patients (median age, 65 years; 24 female and 43 male patients) who underwent a TB PET/CT scan and a conventional digital PET/CT scan after a single 2-[
resultsA total of 241 lesions (69 primary lesions; 32 liver, lung, and peritoneum metastases; and 140 regional lymph nodes) among 67 patients with various types of cancer were analyzed. The subjective image quality score and SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) increased gradually from G1 to G5, and these values were significantly higher than the values at G0 (all p < 0.05). Compared to conventional PET/CT, G4 and G5 of TB PET/CT detected an additional 15 lesions (2 primary lesions; 5 liver, lung, and peritoneum lesions; and 8 lymph node metastases).
conclusionTB PET/CT was more sensitive than conventional whole-body PET/CT in detecting small (4.3 mm, maximum standardized uptake value (SUV CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This study explored the gain of the image quality and lesion detectability of TB PET/CT, compared to conventional PET/CT, and recommended the appropriate acquisition time for TB PET/CT in clinical practice with an ordinary 2-[ KEY POINTS: • TB PET/CT increases the effective sensitivity to approximately 40 times that of conventional PET scanners. • The subjective image quality score and signal-to-noise ratio of TB PET/CT from G1 to G5 were better than those of conventional PET/CT. • 2-[
