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
purposeThe widely used reversible Logan Model (LM) requires complete dynamic tissue data to estimate the total distribution volume (Vt), which restricts Vt imaging to the PET scanner’s axial field-of-view (FOV). This study validates a novel reversible delayed Logan Model (DLM) for whole-body (WB) Vt imaging, requiring only late steady-state tissue data, to complement the irreversible Patlak model for WB parametric imaging.
methodsDLM was validated using data from 50 patients scanned with [18F]FDG (FDG) and 10 patients scanned with [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 (Ga-PSMA) using a 70-minute dynamic WB (D-WB) PET acquisition protocol on a short-axial FOV (SAFOV) PET/CT scanner. Organs in the chest region were segmented and analyzed using an image-derived input function (IDIF). For FDG, the use of a population-based input function (PBIF) was tested. Region-based kinetic analysis and voxel-based Vt imaging were generated with LM (0–70 min post injection (p.i.)) and DLM (50–70 min p.i.). For comparisons, region-based LM analysis was considered the reference.
resultsWe found good agreement between Vt images generated by DLM and the reference region-based LM with organ-specific biases less than 12% and 25% for FDG and Ga-PSMA, respectively. Parametric images generated by LM had higher biases. The Vt images generated by LM and DLM showed similar characteristics, but DLM images had fewer artifacts and extended across the WB range. Furthermore, biases below 2% were observed when utilizing the PBIF, which allows for short, clinically feasible D-WB protocols.
conclusionDLM allows quantitative WB Vt imaging using both SAFOV and long-axial FOV (LAFOV) PET systems. Clinically feasible D-WB PET examinations (20-min for SAFOV, and 10-min for LAFOV) with PBIF produce excellent Vt image quality.
