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

purposeLong axial field of view (LAFOV) PET imaging requires extensive automation due to the large number of target tissues. Therefore, we introduce an open-source analysis pipeline (TurBO, Turku total-BOdy) for automated preprocessing and kinetic modelling of LAFOV [

methodsThe pipeline was validated with Biograph Vision Quadra (Siemens Healthineers) LAFOV PET/CT data from 21 subjects scanned with [

resultsModel fits showed high quality with consistent estimates at regional and voxel-levels (R

conclusionThe TurBO pipeline provides fully automated and reliable quantification for LAFOV PET data. It substantially reduces manual workload and enables standardized, reproducible assessment of inter-organ perfusion and metabolism.
