Novel radiopharmaceuticals for molecular imaging of renal cell carcinoma.
Review in BMJ oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Conventional diagnostic strategies for imaging patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have predominantly relied on ultrasonography, CT and MRI. However, a paradigm shift is underway with the emergence of several new radiotracers for molecular imaging. Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA-IX) imaging and sestamibi imaging can assist with identifying malignant renal tumours, whereas fluorodeoxyglucose, prostate-specific membrane antigen and CA-IX tracers can give guidance for diagnosis and staging of RCC. These tracers can assist in enabling better decision-making by minimising overtreatment of renal masses with biopsy, better selecting patients for curative-intented management and optimising treatment for patients with oligo-metastatic disease, among other emerging indications. However, none of them is yet recommended as a standard clinical diagnostic procedure. In this review, we investigate the latest developments in molecular imaging for detecting and staging RCC, aiming to advance precision diagnosis and improve patient outcomes.
