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

purpose of reviewPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with psoriasis. Conventional imaging techniques are used to diagnose the disease and detect long-term structural changes. This review will assess molecular imaging in PsA, to evaluate its potential additive value over conventional and advanced anatomical imaging methods (e.g. ultrasound and MRI). RECENT

findingsCurrent research is primarily focused on the molecular imaging technique PET/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging, in which different tracers have been investigated. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) can visualize disease activity and subclinical inflammation. New tracers targeting inflammatory sites have also been studied, such as FAPI (fibroblast activation protein inhibitor). Moreover, NaF (sodium fluoride) shows promise for imaging of new bone formation. Next to PET/CT, also fluorescence imaging and multispectral optoacoustic tomography have been investigated in the context of PsA. SUMMARY: Molecular imaging techniques hold promise for early diagnosis, monitoring and management of PsA. Future research is needed to define the role of molecular imaging relative to conventional and anatomical imaging techniques in patient care.
