Quantitative Bone SPECT/CT of Central Cartilaginous Bone Tumors: Relationship between SUVmax and Radiodensity in Hounsfield Unit.
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
(1) Background: it is challenging to determine the accurate grades of cartilaginous bone tumors. Using bone single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT), maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was found to be significantly associated with different grades of cartilaginous bone tumor. The inquiry focused on the effect of the tumor matrix on SUVmax. (2) Methods: a total of 65 patients from 2017 to 2022 with central cartilaginous bone tumors, including enchondromas and low-to-intermediate grade chondrosarcomas, who had undergone bone SPECT/CT were retrospectively enrolled. The SUVmax was recorded and any aggressive CT findings of cartilaginous bone tumor and Hounsfield units (HU) of the chondroid matrix as mean, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation (SD) were reviewed on CT scans. Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between CT features and SUVmax. Subgroup analysis was also performed between the benign group (enchondroma) and the malignant group (grade 1 and 2 chondrosarcoma) for comparison of HU values and SUVmax. (3) Results: a significant negative correlation between SUVmax and HU measurements, including HUmax, HUmean, and HU
