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

Total body PET, or long axial field-of-view PET, is a PET scanner with an extended axial coverage compared with conventional PET scanners. The significant gain in sensitivity of these systems enables shorter scanning times, delayed imaging or lower injected activities, making PET imaging accessible to a broader range of patient groups, including children, pregnant women, and intensive care patients. Non-invasive quantification is made possible by scanning dynamically most of the body in a single bed position, with most organs of interest within the field-of-view. Furthermore, it makes it possible to perform research in areas such as organ-axes and multi-tracer PET. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of what this system has to offer to the field of oncology, starting from a theoretical point of view, moving on to possible clinical applications and concluding with a discussion of still underexplored areas and future possibilities.
