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

We performed a systematic evaluation of the diagnostic performance of LAFOV PET/CT with increasing acquisition time. The first 100 oncologic adult patients referred for 3 MBq/kg 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose PET/CT on the Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra were included. A standard imaging protocol of 10 min was used and scans were reconstructed at 30 s, 60 s, 90 s, 180 s, 300 s, and 600 s. Paired comparisons of quantitative image noise, qualitative image quality, lesion detection, and lesion classification were performed. Image noise (n = 50, 34 women) was acceptable according to the current standard of care (coefficient-of-variance
