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
purposeMeasuring the ortho-positronium (oPs) lifetime in human tissue bears the potential of adding clinically relevant information about the tissue microenvironment to conventional positron emission tomography (PET). Through phantom measurements, we investigate the voxel-wise measurement of oPs lifetime using a commercial long-axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET scanner.
methodsWe prepared four samples with mixtures of Amberlite XAD4, a porous polymeric adsorbent, and water and added between 1.12 and 1.44 MBq of
resultsAmberlite XAD4 allows the preparation of samples with distinct oPs lifetime. Using a Bayesian fitting procedure, the oPs lifetimes in the whole samples are 2.52 ± 0.03 ns, 2.37 ± 0.03 ns, 2.27 ± 0.04 ns and 1.82 ± 0.02 ns, respectively. The voxel-wise oPs lifetime fits showed that even with 4.0
conclusionsOur study shows that positronium lifetime imaging on a commercial LAFOV PET/CT is feasible using
