FAPi PET/CT Imaging to Identify Fibrosis in Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases.
Review in Biomedicines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are characterized by chronic systemic inflammation and multi-organ involvement. Fibrosis formation in IMIDs can cause tissue destruction and subsequently organ malfunction. Fibroblast activation protein inhibitor positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FAPi PET/CT) represents a novel imaging technique that holds great potential to visualize in vivo fibrosis. We here provide an overview of available evidence on FAPi PET/CT imaging to visualize fibrosis in various IMIDs, including interstitial lung diseases, immunoglobulin G4-related diseases, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, and gastrointestinal diseases. FAPi PET/CT imaging demonstrates high sensitivity in detecting early fibrosis, correlating with disease severity, across different IMIDs, showing superiority compared to conventional imaging modalities. Although FAPi PET/CT might be a useful tool to assess fibrosis formation, thereby aiding in grading disease severity and staging, future studies should include larger sample sizes in a broad variety of IMIDs with emphasis on the optimization of imaging protocols to further validate its diagnostic value.
