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

purposeThis study compared quantitative accuracy and image quality of post-radioembolization selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT)

methodsPhantom experiments were conducted on Biograph Vision Quadra (LAFOV) and Vision 600 (SAFOV) PET/CT scanners using NEMA IQ phantoms filled with

resultsLAFOV achieved higher RCs and ~ 3× lower BV than SAFOV. ABS yielded significantly improved accuracy and stability versus RS, particularly at short scans. Patient data acquired on the LAFOV system showed ABS quantification equivalent to injected activity within ± 10% for ≥ 5 min (CCC ≥ 0.99), whereas RS required ≥ 10 min. Variance followed a power-law decay (γ ≈ 1.5 at 5 min), and logistic regression identified an activity threshold of ~ 1.6 GBq for 90% accuracy at 5 min. At ≥ 10 min, quantification became independent of activity.

conclusionCompared with a SAFOV 50-minute clinical routine acquisition, LAFOV PET enabled a similar BV performance at 7-times accelerated scanning duration. LAFOV PET/CT with absolute scatter correction enables accurate
