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

purposeSampling of arterial blood for metabolite correction is often required to define a true radiotracer input function in quantitative modeling of PET data. However, arterial puncture for blood sampling is often undesirable. To establish whether venous blood could substitute for arterial blood in metabolite analysis for quantitative PET studies with 1-[(11)C]acetate and 1-[(11)C]palmitate, we compared the results of [(11)C]CO2-metabolite analyses performed on simultaneously collected arterial and venous blood samples.

methodsPaired arterial and venous blood samples were drawn from anesthetized pigs at 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30min after i.v. administration of 1-[(11)C]acetate and 1-[(11)C]palmitate. Blood radioactivity present as [(11)C]CO2 was determined employing a validated 10-min gas-purge method. Briefly, total blood (11)C radioactivity was counted in base-treated [(11)C]-blood samples, and non-[(11)C]CO2 radioactivity was counted after the [(11)C]-blood was acidified using 6N HCl and bubbled with air for 10min to quantitatively remove [(11)C]CO2.

resultsAn excellent correlation was found between concurrent arterial and venous [(11)C]CO2 levels. For the [(11)C]acetate study, the regression equation derived to estimate the venous [(11)C]CO2 from the arterial values was: y=0.994x+0.004 (r(2)=0.97), and for the [(11)C]palmitate: y=0.964x-0.001 (r(2)=0.9). Over the 1-30min period, the fraction of total blood (11)C present as [(11)C]CO2 rose from 4% to 64% for acetate, and 0% to 24% for palmitate. The rate of [(11)C]CO2 appearance in venous blood appears similar for the pig model and humans following i.v. [(11)C]-acetate administration.

conclusionVenous blood [(11)C]CO2 values appear suitable as substitutes for arterial blood samples in [(11)C]CO2 metabolite analysis after administration of [(11)C]acetate or [(11)C]palmitate ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PATIENT CARE: Quantitative PET studies employing 1-[(11)C]acetate and 1-[(11)C]palmitate can employ venous blood samples for metabolite correction of an image-derived tracer arterial input function, thereby avoiding the risks of direct arterial blood sampling.
