Rodent rhabdomyosarcoma: comparison between total choline concentration at H-MRS and [18F]-fluoromethylcholine uptake at PET using accurate methods for collecting data.

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
purposeTo compare choline concentration/amount at proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS) and [18F]-fluoromethylcholine (FCH) uptake at positron emission tomography (PET) in a tumour animal model. PROCEDURES: Twenty-two rats bearing grafted syngenic rhabdomyosarcoma in both thighs were examined on a 3T MR system and on a small animal PET system. Total choline concentration was measured on proton MR spectra using a so-called 'best internal fitting' volume of interest. Choline uptake was expressed as mean and maximum standardized uptake value (SUV and SUVmax, respectively) and as the percent of injected dose (%ID) after tumour delineation on fused PET-MR images. Data sets were displayed on standard scatter plots.
resultsThirty-six tumours were available for analysis. The area under the curve of the 3.2 ppm choline peak ranged from 69 to 476 (mean, 192) in arbitrary units. Mean SUV values ranged from 0.05 to 0.49 (mean, 0.19) and the %ID from 0.05 to 2.28 (mean, 0.54). Scatter plots failed to reveal quantitative relationship between choline concentration and uptake. Empirically data-driven cut-off lines applied to choline amount (choline concentration x tumour volume) versus choline uptake suggested a paradoxically negative relationship.
conclusionTotal choline concentration did not correlate with FCH uptake in a tumour experimental model. A negative feedback of high values of total choline amount on cellular FCH uptake seemed to be present.
