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

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a non-invasive, highly sensitive functional imaging modality, firmly established in clinical practice for the diagnosis and assessment of therapeutic efficacy in oncological and neurological disorders. Recent advances in digital image processing, sensor technology, and imaging algorithms have enabled this technique to achieve sub-millimetric spatial resolution and a high degree of compactness, thereby making its application to the investigation of biological systems smaller than humans both feasible and scientifically meaningful. In this review, we detail the substantial impact of PET on emerging applications in biomedicine, food security, and agriculture. We focus specifically on non-conventional implementations of PET, including small-animal imaging in species beyond traditional murine models, and imaging of crops. The discussed translational pathways of PET - from bench to bedside and from-lab-to-field - impose stringent technological requirements on system design and performance, thereby driving further innovation in PET detector technologies and associated electronics.
