Optimizing positron emission tomography for accurate plant imaging using Monte Carlo simulations to correct positron range effects.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a valuable tool for plant imaging, but its accuracy can be compromised by positron range effects. This study improves PET accuracy using the GATE Monte Carlo simulation tool to estimate and correct these effects. The GATE model was validated for the Siemens Biograph Vision system using the NEMA NU 2-2018 protocol, showing alignment with experimental data. Deviations were within 9% for sensitivity and 3% for peak Noise Equivalent Count Rate (NECR). Different isotopes (
