18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-Avid Benign Anthracotic Mediastinal Lymphadenitis Mimicking Metastatic Lymphadenopathy.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The staging of malignancy is critical for its effective management. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging is a common modality for malignancy staging, which identifies areas of FDG avidity. However, multiple benign etiologies can cause false-positive 18F FDG-avid nodes. Among these, extrapulmonary involvement of anthracosis in the form of lymphadenopathy is a rare entity. In patients with concomitant malignancies, the presence of 18F FDG-avid anthracotic lymph nodal enlargement may mimic nodal metastasis. Endosonography-guided tissue acquisition may help differentiate between the two. Herein, we describe six cases of FDG-avid benign anthracotic lymphadenitis detected during staging workups for patients with malignancies who later underwent curative resection.
