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
In Positron Emission Tomography (PET) research, it is important to assess not only pharmacokinetics of a radiotracer in vivo, but also of the drugs used in blocking/displacement PET studies. Typically, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analyses of drugs used in rodent PET studies are based on population average pharmacokinetic profiles of the drugs due to limited blood volume withdrawal while simultaneously maintaining physiological homeostasis. This likely results in bias of PET data quantification, including unknown bias of target occupancy (TO) measurements. This study aimed to develop a High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method for PK/PD quantification of drugs used in preclinical rodent PET research, specifically the translocator 18 kDa protein (TSPO) selective drug, PK11195, that used sub-millilitre blood volumes. The lowest detection limit for the proposed HPLC method ranged between 7.5 and 10 ng/mL depending on the method used to calculate the limit of detection, and the measured average relative standard deviation for intermediate precision was equal to 17.2%. Most importantly, we were able to demonstrate a significant difference between calculated PK11195 concentrations at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 15 and 30 min post-administration and individually measured whole blood levels (significance level range from p < 0.05 to p < 0.001; one-way ANOVA, Dunnet's post hoc test, p < 0.05). The HPLC method developed here uses sub-millilitre sample volumes to reproducibly assess PK/PD of PK11195 in rodent blood. This study highlights the importance of individually measured PK/PD drug concentrations when quantifying the TO from blocking/displacement rodent PET experiments.
