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

introductionAmyloid deposition is a cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy. Patients who present with cardiac disease can be evaluated for transthyretin (TTR)-associated cardiac amyloidosis using nuclear imaging with 99mTc-labeled pyrophosphate (PYP); however, light chain-associated (AL) cardiac amyloid is generally not detected using this tracer. As an alternative, the amyloid-binding peptide p5+14 radiolabeled with iodine-124 has been shown to be an effective pan-amyloid radiotracer for PET/CT imaging. Here, a 99mTc-labeled form of p5+14 peptide has been prepared to facilitate SPECT/CT imaging of cardiac amyloidosis.

methodA synthesis method suitable for clinical applications has been used to prepare 99mTc-labeled p5+14 and tested for peptide purity, product bioactivity, radiochemical purity and stability. The product was compared with99mTc-PYP for cardiac SPECT/CT imaging in a mouse model of AA amyloidosis and for reactivity with human tissue sections from AL and TTR patients.

resultsThe 99mTc p5+14 tracer was produced with >95% yields in radiopurity and bioactivity with no purification steps required and retained over 95% peptide purity and >90% bioactivity for >3 h. In mice, the tracer detected hepatosplenic AA amyloid as well as heart deposits with uptake ~5 fold higher than 99mTc-PYP. 99mTc p5+14 effectively bound human amyloid deposits in the liver, kidney and both AL- and ATTR cardiac amyloid in tissue sections in which 99mTc-PYP binding was not detectable.

conclusion99mTc-p5+14 was prepared in minutes in >20 mCi doses with good performance in preclinical studies making it suitable for clinical SPECT/CT imaging of cardiac amyloidosis.
