(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake by positron emission tomography in patients with IPAH and CTEPH.
Article in Pulmonary circulation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is driven by pathologies associated with increased metabolism such as pulmonary revascularization, vasoconstriction and smooth muscle cell proliferation in pulmonary artery wall. 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) is an imaging technique sensitive to glucose metabolism and might be considered as a non-invasive method for diagnosis due to significant role of inflammation in idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension (IPAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The present study aimed to investigate the role of PET/CT imaging of patients with IPAH and CTEPH as an alternative diagnosis method. Demographic characteristics, FDG uptake in lungs, pulmonary artery and right ventricle (RV) of 17 patients (10 IPAH, 7 CTEPH), and 30 controls were evaluated. PET scanning, 6-min walk test, pro-BNP level, right heart catheterization of patients were performed both at the onsert and after 6-month PAH specific treatment. IPAH and CTEPH patients had significantly higher left lung FDG (
