Monte Carlo-Based Nanoscale Dosimetry Holds Promise for Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Involving Auger Electron Emitters.
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) is evolving as a promising strategy for treating cancer. As interest grows in short-range particles, like Auger electrons, understanding the dose-response relationship at the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) level has become essential. In this study, we used the Geant4-DNA toolkit to evaluate DNA damage caused by the Auger-electron-emitting isotope I-125. We compared the energy deposition and single strand break (SSB) yield at each base pair location in a short B-form DNA (B-DNA) geometry with existing simulation and experimental data, considering both physical direct and chemical indirect hits. Additionally, we evaluated dosimetric differences between our high-resolution B-DNA target and a previously published simple B-DNA geometry. Overall, our benchmarking results for SSB yield from I-125 decay exhibited good agreement with both simulation and experimental data. Using this simulation, we then evaluated the SSB and double strand break (DSB) yields caused by a theranostic Br-77-labeled poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor radiopharmaceutical. The results indicated a predominant contribution of chemical indirect hits over physical direct hits in generating SSB and DSB. This study lays the foundation for future investigations into the nano-dosimetric properties of RPT.
