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

objectiveThe 4.2-day half-life of (124)I favors its use for positron emission tomography (PET) of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). However, high positron energy and beta(+) -associated cascade gamma rays pose image resolution and background noise problems for (124)I. This study evaluated quantitative PET of an (124)I mAb in tumor-bearing mice.

methodsAn R4 microPETtrade mark (Siemens/CTIMI, Knoxville, TN) was used with standard energy and coincidence timing windows (350-750 keV and 6 ns, respectively), delayed random coincidence subtraction, iterative image reconstruction, and no attenuation or scatter correction. Image resolution, contrast, and response linearity were compared for (124)I and (18)F, using phantoms. Nude mice bearing human colon tumors (LS-174T) were injected intravenously with a chimeric (124)I anti-CEA mAb (cT84.66) and imaged serially 1 hour to 7 days postinjection. Venous blood was sampled to validate image-derived blood curves. Mice were sacrificed after the final scan, and the biodistribution of (124)I was measured by direct tissue assay. Images were converted to units of kBq/g for each tissue of interest by comparing the final scans with the direct assays.

resultsMeasured resolution (FWHM) 0-16 mm from the scanner axis was 2.3-2.7 mm for (124)I versus 1.9-2.0 mm for (18)F. Due to true coincidence events between annihilation photons and cascade gamma rays, background was greater for (124)I than (18)F, but the signal-to-background ratio was still more than 20, and (124)I image intensities varied linearly with activity concentration. Tissue-based calibration worked well (i.e., PET blood curves agreed with direct measurements within 12% at all time points), while calibration, based on a cylindrical phantom approximating the mouse body, yielded tumor quantitation that was 46%-66% low, compared with direct assay.

conclusionsImages of quantitative accuracy sufficient for biodistribution measurements can be obtained from tumor-bearing mice by using (124)I anti-CEA mAbs with standard microPET acquisition and processing techniques, provided the calibration is based on the direct assay of excised tissue samples.
