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

introductionA new (18)F ligand, 2-(2'-((dimethylamino)methyl)-4'-(3-[(18)F]fluoropropoxy)-phenylthio)benzenamine ([(18)F]1), for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of serotonin transporters (SERT) was evaluated.

methodsBinding affinity was determined through in vitro binding assays with LLC-PK1 cells overexpressing SERT, NET or DAT (LLC-SERT, LLC-NET and LLC-DAT) and with rat cortical homogenates. Localization and selectivity of [(18)F]1 binding in vivo were evaluated by biodistribution, autoradiography and A-PET imaging studies in rats.

resultsThis compound displayed excellent binding affinity for SERT in vitro with K(i)=0.33 and 0.24 nM in LLC-SERT and rat cortical homogenates, respectively. Biodistribution studies with [(18)F]1 showed good brain uptake (1.61% dose/g at 2 min postinjection), high uptake into the hypothalamus (1.22% dose/g at 30 min) and a high target-to-nontarget (hypothalamus to cerebellum) ratio of 9.66 at 180 min postinjection. Pretreatment with a SERT selective inhibitor considerably inhibited [(18)F]1 binding in biodistribution studies. Ex vivo autoradiography reveals [(18)F]1 localization to brain regions with high SERT density, and this binding was blocked by pretreatment with SERT selective inhibitors. Small animal PET (A-PET) imaging in rats provided clear images of tracer localization in the thalamus, midbrain and striatum. In A-PET chasing experiments, injecting a SERT selective inhibitor 75 min post-tracer injection causes a dramatic reduction in regional radioactivity and the target-to-nontarget ratio.

conclusionThe results of the biological studies and the ease of radiosynthesis with moderately good radiochemical yield (RCY=10-35%) make [(18)F]1 an excellent candidate for SERT PET imaging.
