Prognostic stratification of newly diagnosed IDH-mutant gliomas by [18F]fluoroethyltyrosine and [11C]methionine PET: A retrospective, bicentric cohort study.
Article in Neuro-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
backgroundImproved prognostic stratification, including imaging-based parameters, is needed to guide treatment decisions in IDH-mutant glioma.
methodsIn this bicentric retrospective study, 457 patients with IDH-mutant glioma and [18F]fluoroethyltyrosine or [11C]methionine positron emission tomography (PET) prior to radiotherapy or systemic treatment were included. Associations of maximum and mean tumor-to-background ratios (TBRmax/TBRmean) and PET-positive volume (PET volume) with time to next intervention (TTNI) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed.
resultsOverall, 251 (54.9%) patients with astrocytoma and 206 (45.1%) with oligodendroglioma were included. In patients with astrocytoma who underwent PET before resection, measurable disease according to PET RANO 1.0 criteria was associated with shorter TTNI compared to no/non-measurable disease (median 46.0 vs. 67.9 months; P = .004). Univariable analysis showed an association of TTNI with TBRmax, TBRmean, and PET volume in astrocytoma and PET volume in oligodendroglioma. Multivariable analyses including age, WHO grade, extent of resection, postoperative treatment, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based tumor extent indicated an association of TTNI with TBRmax (HR 1.48 [95%CI: 1.09-2.01]) and TBRmean (HR 1.93 [95%CI: 1.14-3.27]) in astrocytoma and PET volume (HR [10 ml increase]: 1.18 [95%CI: 1.03-1.36]) in oligodendroglioma. In astrocytoma, also OS was related to TBRmax (HR: 1.40 [95%CI: 1.13-1.74]), TBRmean (HR: 1.97 [95%CI: 1.21-3.22]), and PET volume (HR: 1.23 [95%CI: 1.10-1.37]) in univariable analysis. Further analyses considering timepoint of PET showed consistent results.
conclusionsIn this retrospective study, amino acid PET parameters were associated with outcome in newly diagnosed IDH-mutant glioma. Future clinical trials should include PET imaging to define imaging-based prognostic signatures.
