Role and Efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT in Following Up Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor of the Abdomen: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is an exceptionally rare and highly aggressive primary peritoneal neoplasm predominantly seen in adolescents and young adults. Despite the availability of various treatment modalities, the prognosis remains grim due to the tumor's aggressive nature and tendency for widespread metastasis. Although imaging of DSRCT is frequently documented using computed tomography (CT), the role of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in the initial diagnosis, staging, and particularly in the follow-up evaluation, is less explored. This case report details the role and efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the follow-up of a patient with extensive peritoneal involvement by DSRCT, demonstrating its added advantage in monitoring treatment response over conventional CT imaging.
