Preclinical SPECT and PET: Joint EANM and ESMI procedure guideline for implementing an efficient quality control programme.
Review in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 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
The aim of this guideline is to provide recommendations for the implementation of an effective and efficient quality control (QC) programme for SPECT and PET systems in a preclinical imaging lab. These recommendations aim to strengthen the translational power of preclinical imaging results obtained using preclinical SPECT and PET. As for clinical imaging, reliability, reproducibility, and repeatability are essential when groups of animals are used in a longitudinal imaging experiment. The larger the variability of the imaging endpoint, the more animals are needed to be able to observe statistically significant differences between groups. Therefore, preclinical imaging requires quality control procedures to maintain reliability, reproducibility, and repeatability of imaging procedures, and to ensure the accuracy and precision of SPECT and PET quantification. While the Physics Committee of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) has already published excellent procedure guidelines for Routine Quality Control Recommendations for Nuclear Medicine Instrumentation that also includes procedures for small animal PET systems, and important steps have already been made concerning preclinical quality control aspects, this new guideline provides a review and update of these previous guidelines such that guidelines are also adapted to new technological developments.
