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

backgroundSurvival and linear-quadratic model fitting parameters implemented in treatment planning for targeted radionuclide therapy depend on accurate cellular dosimetry. Therefore, we have built a refined cellular dosimetry model for [

methodsTime activity curves were measured and modeled for medium, membrane-bound, and internalized activity fractions over 6 days. Clonogenic survival assays were performed at various added activities (0.1-2.5 MBq/ml). 3D microscopy images (stained for cytoplasm, nucleus, and Golgi) were used as reference for developing polygonal meshes (PM) in 3DsMax to accurately render the cellular and organelle geometry. Absorbed doses to the nucleus per decay (S values) were calculated for 3 cellular morphologies: spheres (MIRDcell), truncated cone-shaped constructive solid geometry (CSG within MCNP6.1), and realistic PM models, using Geant4-10.03. The geometrical set-up of the clonogenic survival assays was modeled, including dynamic changes in proliferation, proximity variations, and cell death. The absorbed dose to the nucleus by the radioactive source cell (self-dose) and surrounding source cells (cross-dose) was calculated applying the MIRD formalism. Finally, the correlation between absorbed dose and survival fraction was fitted using a linear dose-response curve (high α/β or fast sub-lethal damage repair half-life) for different assumptions, related to cellular shape and localization of the internalized fraction of activity.

resultsThe cross-dose, depending on cell proximity and colony formation, is a minor (15%) contributor to the total absorbed dose. Cellular volume (inverse exponential trend), shape modeling (up to 65%), and internalized source localization (up to + 149% comparing cytoplasm to Golgi) significantly influence the self-dose to nucleus. The absorbed dose delivered to the nucleus during a clonogenic survival assay is 3-fold higher with MIRDcell compared to the polygonal mesh structures. Our cellular dosimetry model indicates that

conclusionOur results demonstrate that modeling of cellular and organelle geometry is crucial to perform accurate in vitro dosimetry.
