1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study systematically reviews current evidence on radiogenomics applied to positron emission tomography (PET) imaging across oncological diseases. The primary objective is to evaluate how PET-based radiogenomics aids in understanding tumor biology, prognostic stratification, and clinical outcome prediction, while identifying methodological challenges in the field.

methodsA systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, focusing on English-language studies indexed in Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science until October 31, 2024. Inclusion criteria targeted original research articles involving human oncology studies using radiomics and genomics in a comprehensive "omics" framework. Data extraction included patient cohorts, radiopharmaceuticals and statistical methods. Studies were assessed for methodological rigor and reporting quality according to radiomics quality scores (RQS 2.0).

resultsEighteen studies involving 1780 patients were included, with 75.8% focused on lung cancer. Most studies were retrospective (72.2%) and single-center (77.7%). The primary radiopharmaceutical was [

conclusionPET-based radiogenomics holds significant potential for advancing precision oncology by capturing tumor heterogeneity and improving prognostic stratification. However, methodological limitations, particularly regarding study design and data transparency, hinder its clinical applicability. Future research should prioritize multicentric designs, robust external validations, and enhanced standardization to fully realize the discipline's potential.
