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

purposeSerial dynamic whole-body PET imaging is valuable for assessing serial changes in tracer uptake. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the improvement of motion artifacts in patients using serial dynamic whole-body MATERIALS AND

methodsIn 797 consecutive patients, serial 3-min dynamic whole-body FDG PET imaging was performed seven times, at 60 or 90 min after FDG administration. In cases with large body motion during imaging, we tried to improve the images by summing the images before body motion. An image quality study was performed on another 50 patients without obvious body motion using the same acquisition mode.

resultsObvious body movement was observed in 106 of 797 cases (13.3%), and severe motion artifacts which interfered image interpretation were observed in 18 (2.3%). In these 18 cases, summation of the images before the body movement enabled us to obtain images that excluded the effect of the body motion. In the visual evaluation of the image quality in another 50 patients studied, acceptable image quality was obtained when 2 or more times the serial 3-min image data were added.

conclusionSerial dynamic whole-body FDG PET imaging can minimize body motion artifacts by summation of the images before the body motion. Such serial dynamic study may be a choice for PET imaging to eliminate motion artifacts.
