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

backgroundIn preclinical positron emission tomography (PET) studies an anaesthetic is used to ensure that the animal does not move during the scan. However, anaesthesia may have confounding effects on the drug or tracer kinetics under study, and the nature of these effects is usually not known.

methodWe have implemented a protocol for tracking the rigid motion of the head of a fully conscious rat during a PET scan and performing a motion compensated list-mode reconstruction of the data. Using this technique we have conducted eight rat studies to investigate the effect of isoflurane on the uptake of

resultsOur results indicate that isoflurane significantly decreases the whole brain uptake, as well as decreasing the relative regional FDG uptake in the cortex, diencephalon, and inferior colliculi, while increasing it in the vestibular nuclei. No statistically significant changes in FDG uptake were observed in the cerebellum and striata.

conclusionThe applied event-based motion compensation technique allowed for the investigation of the effect of isoflurane on FDG uptake in the rat brain using fully awake and unrestrained rats, scanned dynamically from the moment of injection. A significant effect of the anaesthesia was observed in various regions of the brain.
