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

Personalised dosimetry based on molecular imaging is a field that has grown exponentially in the last decade due to the increasing success of Radioligand Therapy (RLT). Despite advances in imaging-based 3D dose estimation, the administered dose of a therapeutic radiopharmaceutical for RLT is often non-personalised, with standardised dose regimens administered every 4-6 weeks. Biodosimetry markers, such as chromosomal aberrations, could be used alongside image-based dosimetry as a tool for individualised dose estimation to further understand normal tissue toxicity and refine the administered dose. In this review we give an overview of biodosimetry markers that are used for blood dose estimation, followed by an overview of their current results when applied in RLT patients. Finally, an in-depth discussion will provide a perspective on the potential for the use of biodosimetry in the nuclear medicine clinic.
