Diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis using standardized uptake value in single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography.

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
This study aimed to investigate the cutoff values of standardized uptake values (SUVs) and their accuracy using single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT) for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical examination. We included 106 joints of 53 patients with TMJ OA. SUVmax and SUVpeak of each TMJ was measured. SUVref was set as the SUV at the clivus. The diagnostic performance, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy, were evaluated. SUVmax was 5.15, with a sensitivity of 59.375, specificity of 100.000, PPV of 100.000, NPV of 61.765, and accuracy of 75.472. The cutoff value for SUVpeak was 3.635, with sensitivity of 56.250, specificity of 100.000, PPV of 100.000, NPV of 60.000, and accuracy of 73.585. SUVmax was 3.286 ± 0.780 and 6.623 ± 3.442 in the non-OA and OA groups, respectively (p < 0.001). SUVpeak was 2.324 ± 0.688 and 4.913 ± 2.749 in the non-OA and OA groups, respectively (p < 0.001). SPECT-CT can be helpful for the diagnosis of patients clinically suspected of having OA. It is also recommended that clinicians keep in mind that patients with SUVmax values higher than the cutoff value should be managed with a higher possibility of OA.
