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

purposeThis study aims to demonstrate that 3'-deoxy-3'-(18)F-fluorothymidine ((18)F-FLT) positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising modality for noninvasively monitoring the therapeutic efficacy of Doxisome(®) in a subcutaneous hepatoma mouse model. PROCEDURES: Male BALB/c nu/nu mice were inoculated with HepG2 hepatoma xenograft in the right flank. Doxisome(®) (5 mg/kg, three times a week for 2 weeks) was intravenously administrated for treatment. (18)F-FLT-microPET, biodistribution studies, and immunohistochemistry of Ki-67 were performed.

resultsA significant difference (p < 0.05) in tumor volume was observed on day 5 between treated and control groups. The tumor-to-muscle ratio derived from (18)F-FLT-PET and (123)I-ICdR-microSPECT images of Doxisome(®)-treated mice dropped from 12.55 ± 0.76 to 3.81 ± 0.31 and from 2.48 ± 0.42 to 1.59 ± 0.08 after a three-dose treatment, respectively, while that of the control group remained steady. The retarded proliferation rate of treated xenograft was confirmed by Ki-67 immunohistochemistry staining.

conclusionsThis study clearly demonstrated that Doxisome(®) is an effective anti-cancer drug against the growth of HepG2 hepatoma and that (18)F-FLT-PET could provide early information of tumor response during treatment.
