Comparative benefits of Ki and SUV images in lesion detection during PET/CT imaging.
Article in EJNMMI research, 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
backgroundClinical application of the tracer net influx rate (Ki) imaging in PET/CT remains limited, due to a lack of evidence demonstrating the superiority of Ki images in lesion detection, and guidelines on when to utilize Ki images. This study aims to compare the benefits of Ki and standardized uptake value (SUV) images in lesion detection during PET/CT imaging. By analyzing the performance of both techniques in identifying tumor lesions, the study seeks to provide guidance for the clinical application of Ki images.
resultsThis retrospective study included 134 patients with 244 pathologically confirmed lesions (200 malignant and 44 benign). Patients with a histopathological diagnosis received a weight-based
conclusionKi images exhibit benefits in lesion detection compared to SUV images, particularly in organs with high background such as liver. The enhanced contrast provided by Ki imaging is recommended to clinically improve detection rates in such cases.
