Mapping Drug Dose Distribution on CT Images Following Transarterial Chemoembolization with Radiopaque Drug-Eluting Beads in a Rabbit Tumor Model.
Article in Radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers.
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
Purpose To correlate bead location and attenuation on CT images with the quantity and distribution of drug delivered to the liver following transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with radiopaque drug-eluting beads (DEB) in a rabbit tumor model. Materials and Methods All procedures were performed with a protocol approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. TACE was performed in rabbits (n = 4) bearing VX2 liver tumors by using radiopaque DEB (70-150 µm) loaded with doxorubicin (DOX). Livers were resected 1 hour after embolization, immediately frozen, and cut by using liver-specific three-dimensional-printed molds for colocalization of liver specimens and CT imaging. DOX penetration into tissue surrounding beads was evaluated with fluorescence microscopy. DOX levels in liver specimens were predicted by using statistical models correlating DOX content measured in tissue with bead volume and attenuation measured on CT images. Model predictions were then compared with actual measured DOX concentrations to assess the models' predictive power. Results Eluted DOX remained in close proximity (<600 µm) to beads in the liver 1 hour after TACE. Bead volume and attenuation measured on CT images demonstrated positive linear correlations (0.950 and 0.965, respectively) with DOX content in liver specimens. DOX content model predictions based on CT images were accurate compared with actual liver DOX levels at 1 hour. Conclusion CT may be used to estimate drug dose delivery and distribution in the liver following transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with doxorubicin-loaded radiopaque drug-eluting beads (DEB). Although speculative, this informational map might be helpful in planning and understanding the spatial effects of TACE with DEB. © RSNA, 2018.
