Technical Note: Simplified and practical pretherapy tumor dosimetry - A feasibility study for
Article in Medical physics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeRadiation dose calculated on tumors for radiopharmaceutical therapy varies significantly from tumor to tumor and from patient to patient. Accurate estimation of radiation dose requires multiple time point measurements using radionuclide imaging modalities such as SPECT or PET. In this report, we show our technical development of reducing the number of scans needed for reasonable estimation of tumor and normal organ dose in our pretherapy imaging and dosimetry platform of
methodsWe analyzed the simplest kinetic data, areas of two-time point data for five patients with neuroblastoma who underwent 3 or 4 times of
resultsThe areas of %IAs between data obtained from all the two-time points with time points 1 and 2 (day 0 and day 1), time points 2 and 3 (day 1 and day 2), and time points 1 and 3 (day 0 and day 2) showed reasonable correlation (Pearson's correlation coefficient |r| > 0.5) with not only tumor and organ TIACs but also tumor and organ absorbed doses. The tumor and organ doses calculated using %IA areas of time point 1 and time point 2 were our best fits at about 20% individual percent difference compared to doses calculated using 3 or 4 time points.
conclusionsWe could achieve reasonable accuracy of estimating tumor doses for subsequent radiopharmaceutical therapy using only the two-time point imaging sessions. Images obtained from these time points (within the 48-h after administration of radiopharmaceutical) were also viewed as useful for diagnostic reading. Although our analysis was specific to
