18F-FDG PET and combined diffusion weighted MRI features in pleural infection: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been used as problem-solving modalities in cases of infectious or inflammatory diseases or primary or secondary malignancies. The author report a case of incidentally detected pleural infection in a 73-year-old male patient with lung cancer. The patient underwent F-18 FDG PET/CT for initial staging, and primary, right upper lung cancer and a right lower pleural FDG avid lesion were visualized. Additional F-18 FDG positron emission tomography/ magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MR) was performed to achieve a differential diagnosis, and eventually, a diagnosis of primary lung cancer and pleural infection was reached. Follow up PET/CT demonstrated improvement of the lung cancer and pleural infection after radiotherapy and antibiotic administration. Here, the author present the PET and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) findings of pleural infection. Combined hybrid PET/MR scanner might have aided the differential diagnosis of infection and malignancy.
