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

Ultrasound-based molecular imaging employs targeted microbubbles to image vascular pathology. This approach also has the potential to monitor molecularly targeted microbubble-based drug delivery. We present an image-guided drug delivery technique that uses multiple pulses to translate, image, and cavitate microbubbles in real time. This technique can be applied to both imaging of pathology in large arteries (sizes and flow comparable to those in humans) and guiding localized drug delivery in blood vessels. The microbubble translation (or pushing) efficacy of this technique was compared in a variety of flow media: saline, viscous saline (4 cp), and bovine blood. It was observed that the performance of this approach was marginally better (by 6, 4, and 2 dB) in viscous saline than in bovine blood with varying levels of hematocrit (40%, 30%, and 10%). The drug delivery efficacy of this technique was evaluated by in vitro and ex vivo experiments. High-intensity pulses mediated fluorophore (DiI) deposition on endothelial cells (in vitro) without causing cell destruction. Ex vivo fluorophore delivery experiments conducted on swine carotids of 2 and 5 mm cross-section diameter demonstrated a high degree of correspondence in spatial localization of the fluorophore delivery between the ultrasound and composite fluorescence microscopy images of the arterial cross sections.
