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

This paper presents the development of two mobile brain Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners under the PETITION project, designed for Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) applications. The ICU scanner facilitates bedside imaging for critically ill patients, while the PBT scanner enables undisturbed proton beam irradiation during imaging. Key aspects of the hardware design, including modular detectors and electromagnetic interference considerations, are discussed along with preliminary performance evaluations. Operational testing, employing a
