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

purposeThe 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) has been a central molecular target for imaging inflammation in the preclinical and clinical research settings across a plethora of applications, including neuroinflammation, cardiovascular inflammation and cancer. Recently, we reported the development of [

methodsWhole-body PET images were acquired over 250 min after intravenous bolus injection of 184.3 ± 20.2 MBq of [

resultsThe radiotracer biodistribution in humans recapitulated known TSPO expression in various tissues. The main elimination route was found to be hepatobiliary, and the critical organ was the intestine. The cumulated radioactivity excreted by the kidneys was < 10% over the measurement period and no bone uptake suggestive of in vivo defluorination was observed in any of the study subjects. The effective dose ranged between 11.8 ± 0.9 and 12.5 ± 0.9 µSv/MBq. Inter-observer VOI variability had no impact on estimated organ and whole-body effective doses.
