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 dopamine D(2)/D(3) receptor ligand [(11)C]FLB 457 and PET enable quantification of low-density extrastriatal D(2)/D(3) receptors, but it is uncertain whether [(11)C]FLB 457 can be used for measuring extrastriatal dopamine release.

methodsWe studied the effects of d-amphetamine (0.3 mg/kg i.v.) on extrastriatal [(11)C]FLB 457 binding potential (BP(ND)) in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study including 24 healthy volunteers.

resultsThe effects of d-amphetamine on [(11)C]FLB 457 BP(ND) and distribution volume (V(T)) in the frontal cortex were not different from those of placebo. Small decreases in [(11)C]FLB 457 BP(ND) were observed only in the posterior cingulate and hippocampus. The regional changes in [(11)C]FLB 457 BP(ND) did not correlate with d-amphetamine-induced changes in subjective ratings of euphoria.

conclusionThis placebo-controlled study showed that d-amphetamine does not induce marked changes in measures of extrastriatal dopamine D(2)/D(3) receptor binding. Our results indicate that [(11)C]FLB 457 PET is not a useful method for measuring extrastriatal dopamine release in humans.
