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 positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer (11)C-(R)-PK11195 allows the in vivo imaging in humans of the translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO), previously called peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), a marker of inflammation. Despite its widespread use, the radiation burden associated with (11)C-(R)-PK11195 in humans is not known. To examine this, we performed dynamic whole-body imaging with PET and (11)C-(R)-PK11195 in healthy humans.

methodsFive healthy male volunteers were scanned with PET and (11)C-(R)-PK11195, using a dynamic whole-body imaging protocol. An organ-specific method was used to measure accumulated radioactivity in source organs, and residence times were calculated as areas under the curve of time-activity curves expressed as percentage of injected radioactivity. Residence times were used as input for OLINDA/EXM 1.0 software to model the equivalent organ doses and the effective dose for the 70-kg man.

resultsAfter intravenous injection of (11)C-(R)-PK11195, radioactivity accumulated in organs rich in TSPO as well as routes of excretion: the hepatobiliary system and the urine. The mean effective dose was 4.8 microSv/MBq according to International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Publication 60 and 5.1 microSv/MBq according to ICRP Publication 103, and the highest equivalent organ doses were observed in the kidneys (14.0 microSv/MBq), spleen (12.5 microSv/MBq) and small intestine (12.2 microSv/MBq).

conclusionImaging of TSPO with PET using (11)C-(R)-PK11195 is associated with modest radiation exposure, similar in magnitude to most other (11)C-labelled PET tracers, suggesting feasibility of (11)C-(R)-PK11195 imaging in clinical human studies involving multiple scans in the same subjects per year.
