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

Integrins mediate many biological processes, including tumor-induced angiogenesis and metastasis. The arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptide sequence is a common recognition motif by integrins in many proteins and small peptides. While evaluating a small library of RGD peptides for imaging alpha(V)beta(3) integrin (ABI)-positive tumor cell line (A549) by optical methods, we discovered that conjugating a presumably inactive linear hexapeptide GRDSPK with a near-infrared carbocyanine molecular probe (Cypate) yielded a previously undescribed bioactive ligand (Cyp-GRD) that targets ABI-positive tumors. MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay with A549 cells showed that Cyp-GRD was not cytotoxic up to 100 muM in cell culture. The compound was internalized by cells, and this internalization was blocked by coincubation with a cyclic RGD peptide (cyclo[RGDfV], f is d-phenylalanine) that binds ABI with high affinity. In vivo, Cyp-GRD selectively accumulated in tumors relative to surrounding normal tissues. Blocking studies with cyclo[RGDfV] inhibited the in vivo uptake of Cyp-GRD, suggesting that both compounds target the same active site of the protein. A strong correlation between the Cyp-GRD peptide and mitochondrial NADH concentration suggests that the new molecule could also report on the metabolic status of cells ex vivo. Interestingly, neither a Cypate-labeled linear RGD peptide nor an (111)In-labeled DOTA-GRD conjugate was selectively retained in the tumor. These results clearly demonstrate the synergistic effects of Cypate and GRD peptide for molecular recognition of integrin expression and suggest the potential of using carbocyanines as optical scaffolds for designing biologically active molecules.
