Trial report in European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04018053 (A Pilot Study of 18Fluorine-Fluciclovine Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography for Staging Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Preceding Radical Cystectomy), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

Abstract

aimTo assess the ability of [

methodsThis single-site prospective pilot study enrolled patients with MIBC and T2-T4, N0 disease on CT/MRI slated to undergo radical cystectomy (RC). Dynamic and static [

resultsThe study enrolled sixteen patients (median age: 73 years, range: 57-88 years, 11 males, 5 females), twelve receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy before RC. There was high specificity amongst all three readers for detecting lymph node metastases (overall specificity: 0.91, 95%CI: 0.81-1.00) with good overall agreement rate with pathology (0.67, 95%CI: 0.44-0.83). The overall PPV for all readers for identifying node-positive disease was 0.4 (95%CI: 0-1.00), and the overall sensitivity was 0.13 (95%CI: 0-0.44). The overall PPV for detecting the primary tumor was 0.69 (95%CI: 0.47-0.88), and the sensitivity was 0.89 (95%CI: 0.78-1.00), with NPV and specificity being 0.70 (95%CI: 0.33, 1.00) and 0.39 (95%CI: 0.33, 0.50), respectively. Compartmental analysis of the primary bladder tumor revealed that k
