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

unlabelledThe evaluation of stem cell-mediated cardiomyoplasty by noninvasive in vivo imaging is critical for its clinical application. We hypothesized that dual-tracer small-animal SPECT would allow simultaneous imaging of (99m)Tc-sestamibi to assess myocardial perfusion and of (111)In-labeled stem cells to delineate stem cell engraftment.

methodsThree to 4 million rat embryonic cardiomyoblasts (H9c2 cells) were labeled with 11.1-14.8 MBq (0.3-0.4 mCi) of (111)In-oxyquinoline and then injected into the border zones of infarcted myocardium of rats. (111)In images were acquired with a SPECT scanner 2, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h after the stem cells were injected into the infarcted myocardium. To visualize the perfusion deficit in the infarcted myocardium, we injected 74 MBq (2 mCi) of (99m)Tc-sestamibi (Cardiolite) intravenously 48 h after grafting. Dual-isotope pinhole SPECT was used to image (99m)Tc-sestamibi uptake simultaneously with (111)In to delineate retention of (111)In-labeled stem cells. The presence of labeled stem cells was confirmed by autoradiography and histology.

resultsSPECT of (99m)Tc-sestamibi was used to delineate perfusion deficits and infarcted myocardium. Bull's-eye plots indicated that the (111)In signal from the labeled stem cells overlapped the perfusion deficits identified from the (99m)Tc-sestamibi images. The (111)In signal associated with the radiolabeled stem cells could be detected with SPECT of the heart for 96 h after engraftment.

conclusionThis study demonstrated the feasibility of using dual-isotope pinhole SPECT for high-resolution detection of perfusion deficits with (99m)Tc-sestamibi and with (111)In-labeled stem cells grafted into the region of the infarct.
