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.

Abstract

aimTo explore the dosimetric effect of substituting Lu-177 with Tb-161 in targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) using the registered tracers DOTA-TATE and PSMA-617.

methodsUsing established kinetic data for [

resultsFor both DOTA-TATE and PSMA-617, the substitution of Lu-177 with Tb-161 results in an increase in the delivered dose per unit of activity to tumour tissue by 40%. If an equivalent non-target delivered dose is strived for in order not to increase toxicity, based on kidney absorbed dose, 7400 MBq Lu-177 per cycle should be substituted with 5400 MBq Tb-161 for DOTA-TATE and 5300 MBq of Tb-161 for PSMA-617.

conclusionWhen substituting Lu-177 with Tb-161, activity conversion is necessary in order not to exceed non-target dose limits.
