Investigation of the minimum uptake time for quantitative jawbone SPECT.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundThe range of imaging times recommended for bone scintigraphy is wide, and uptake times vary across facilities. In our previous quantitative evaluation of jawbone SPECT using [
methodsForty patients scheduled for jawbone SPECT at our hospital's Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery were enrolled in this study and assigned to two groups. The 1.0-hour uptake time group was imaged at two time points, 1.0 and 2.0 h, and the 1.5-hour uptake time group was imaged at two time points, 1.5 and 2.0 h, for jawbone lesions and parietal bone. We investigated statistically significant differences by comparing the maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax) for each of the two groups using quantitative SPECT software.
resultsWhen the SUVmax of the 1.0-hour uptake time group was compared, the median SUVmax of the parietal bone was not significantly different. In contrast, the median SUVmax of jawbone lesions significantly increased to 6.40 and 8.10, respectively (p < 0.001). Similarly, in the 1.5-hour uptake time group, the median SUVmax of the parietal bone was not significantly different. The median SUVmax of the jawbone lesions increased to 7.22 and 8.03, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001).
