Whole body and regional retention of Tc-99m-labeled diphosphonates with a whole-body counter: a study with normal males.
Article in Calcified tissue international, 1989. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A collimated whole-body counter was used to measure the retention and distribution of radioactivity along the longitudinal axis of the body at several times during the 24 hours after the intravenous injection of 50 microCi of Tc-99m-diphosphonates. Whole-body retention (WBR) was measured together with regional uptakes in the following four areas: head, chest, bladder, and legs using two structurally related Tc-99m-diphosphonate skeletal imaging agents: 1-hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate (HEDP) and methylene diphosphonate (MDP). The average 24 hour WBR values in young males, reflecting skeletal uptake of these tracers, were 17.7 +/- 2.2% (n = 20) and 31.0 +/- 2.4% (n = 3), respectively. A model of skeletal clearance was developed using the sum of two exponentials. In normal volunteers the initial rapid clearance phase of both tracers had a half-time of about 1 hour, whereas the slower second phase clearance had a half-time of 22 hours with HEDP and 44 hours with MDP. The WBR is usually calculated for the entire body only at 24 hours, but with the improved spatial resolution of a collimated whole-body counter, regional measurements could potentially be done over shorter periods (6-8 hours) in order to simplify the procedure.
