Hepatic FDG Avidity From a Migrating Gastric Foreign Body: A PET/CT Pitfall.
Article in Clinical nuclear medicine, 2026. 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
A 53-year-old woman presented with epigastric pain. Gastroscopy and abdominal CT suggested a tumorous lesion in the gastric antrum with possible local perforation. 18 F-FDG PET/CT was performed for staging, revealing intense FDG uptake in the gastric antral wall and in segments I and IV of the liver, highly suggestive of primary gastric cancer with hepatic metastases. Surgical exploration, however, discovered an ingested toothpick that had perforated the gastric antrum and migrated into the liver, forming an inflammatory abscess. Pathology confirmed only inflammatory changes, with no evidence of malignancy. This case highlights that an inflammatory focus secondary to a migrating foreign body can mimic metastatic malignancy on 18 F-FDG PET/CT.
