Long Axial Field-of-View PET/CT Could Answer Unmet Needs in Gynecological Cancers.
Review in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Gynecological malignancies currently affect about 3.5 million women all over the world. Imaging of uterine, cervical, vaginal, ovarian, and vulvar cancer still presents several unmet needs when using conventional modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance, and standard positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. Some of the current diagnostic limitations are represented by differential diagnosis between inflammatory and cancerous findings, detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis and metastases <1 cm, detection of cancer-associated vascular complications, effective assessment of post-therapy changes, as well as bone metabolism and osteoporosis assessment. As a result of recent advances in PET/CT instrumentation, new systems now offer a long-axial field-of-view (LAFOV) to image between 106 cm and 194 cm (i.e., total-body PET) of the patient's body simultaneously and feature higher physical sensitivity and spatial resolution compared to standard PET/CT systems. LAFOV PET could overcome the forementioned limitations of conventional imaging and provide valuable global disease assessment, allowing for improved patient-tailored care. This article provides a comprehensive overview of these and other potential applications of LAFOV PET/CT imaging for patients with gynecological malignancies.
