Evaluation of patients via colonoscopy who underwent positron emission tomography/computerized tomography due to colon involvement.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveFluorodeoxyglucose is not a tumor-specific agent and it can also be involved in benign conditions, which may cause diagnostic confusion. This research aims to elucidate the colonoscopic findings of patients who underwent colonoscopy due to colon involvement in positron emission tomography/computerized tomography.
methodsA total of 71 patients who underwent colonoscopy due to colonic involvement in positron emission tomography/computerized tomography at SBU Keçiören Training and Research Hospital Gastroenterology Clinic Endoscopy Unit have been analyzed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics of the patients, areas of involvement in positron emission tomography/computerized tomography, and severity have been obtained from the hospital database.
resultsThe gastrointestinal involvement area of 22.5% (n=16) of the patients was ascending colon, 15.5% (n=11) was sigmoid, 15.5% (n=11) was rectum, 12.7% (n=9) was stomach, 11.3% (n=8) was transverse colon, 8.5% (n=6) was anal canal, 5.6% (n=4) was esophagus, and 5.6% (n=4) was descending colon. The endoscopic findings of 19.7% (n=14) patients were normal, whereas 29.6% (n=21) had polyps, 9.9% (n=7) had cancer, 2.8% (n=2) had an ulcer, 15.5% (n=11) had gastritis, 14.1% (n=10) had hemorrhoids, and 7% (n=5) had colitis.
conclusionFluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography can detect unexpected distant metastases with high sensitivity because it allows whole-body imaging. Curative resection significantly contributes to the choice of treatment modality in the pre-operative period of colorectal cancer patients with planned surgery.
