(99m)Tc-glucarate imaging for the early detection of infarct in partially reperfused canine myocardium.

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
purpose(99m)Tc-glucarate is an imaging agent developed for the detection of acutely infarcted myocardium. The purposes of the current study were to (1) determine whether (99m)Tc-glucarate can detect acute infarct in the setting of only partial minimal reperfusion, (2) study the persistence and time course of scan positivity following coronary occlusion and intravenous tracer injection, (3) assess the ability of (99m)Tc-glucarate to determine infarct size, and (4) compare these data with previous results obtained using a 100% reperfusion model.
methodsSix dogs underwent left circumflex (LCx) coronary occlusion for 90 min, followed by 10% epicardial blood flow reperfusion. Fifteen mCi (555 MBq) (99m)Tc-glucarate was injected intravenously 30 min later. Serial gamma camera images were acquired over 240 min. Microsphere blood flow determinations were performed at baseline, during occlusion, during tracer administration, and just before euthanasia. Ex vivo gamma camera images were obtained. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining was performed to assess infarct size.
resultsQualitatively, (99m)Tc-glucarate images showed a well-defined "hot spot" in all six dogs by 30 min after tracer injection (150 min following coronary occlusion), which persisted for 240 min following tracer administration. Quantitatively, there was a significant increase in the LCx/LAD (left anterior descending) counts ratio beginning 10 min after tracer administration (130 min after occlusion), and continuing to 240 min after tracer administration. Tracer retention was 12.0+/-0.9% for the LAD and 39.0+/-4.1% for the LCx hot spot zone (p<0.05) at 240 min after (99m)Tc-glucarate injection. The correlation coefficient was 0.90 for infarct size by TTC versus (99m)Tc-glucarate.
conclusionIn the setting of only partial minimal coronary reperfusion following infarction, (99m)Tc-glucarate myocardial uptake is delayed and less intense compared with the setting of complete reperfusion. Nevertheless, infarcts can still be reliably detected in dogs using qualitative in vivo imaging, and significant abnormalities in quantitative parameters are observed. Thus, (99m)Tc-glucarate imaging may be useful for the clinical detection and relative sizing of acute myocardial infarction, even in the setting of only minimal coronary reperfusion.
