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

purposeNoninvasive imaging of tau and amyloid-β pathologies would facilitate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, we have developed [(18)F]THK-5105 for selective detection of tau pathology by positron emission tomography (PET). The purpose of this study was to clarify biological properties of optically pure [(18)F]THK-5105 enantiomers. PROCEDURES: Binding for tau aggregates in AD brain section was evaluated by autoradiography (ARG). In vitro binding assays were performed to evaluate the binding properties of enantiomers for AD brain homogenates. The pharmacokinetics in the normal mouse brains was assessed by ex vivo biodistribution assay

resultsThe ARG of enantiomers showed the high accumulation of radioactivity corresponding to the distribution of tau deposits. In vitro binding assays revealed that (S)-[(18)F]THK-5105 has slower dissociation from tau than (R)-[(18)F]THK-5105. Biodistribution assays indicated that (S)-[(18)F]THK-5105 eliminated faster from the mouse brains and blood compared with (R)-[(18)F]THK-5105.

conclusion(S)-[(18)F]THK-5105 could be more suitable than (R)-enantiomer for a tau imaging agent.
