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

Fibroblasts at the tumor-host interface can differentiate into myofibroblasts and pericytes, and contribute to the guidance and stabilization of endothelial sprouts. After intravenous administration of biotin-BSA-GdDTPA-FAM in mice with subcutaneous MLS human ovarian carcinoma tumors, the distribution of the macromolecular MRI/optical contrast material was confined to blood vessels in normal tissues, while it co-registered with alphaSMA-positive stroma tracks within the tumor. These alphaSMA-positive tumor-associated myofibroblasts and pericytes showed uptake of the contrast material into intracellular granules. We evaluated the use of this contrast material for in vitro labeling of tumor fibroblasts as an approach for tracking their involvement in angiogenesis. Fluorescence microscopy demonstrated internalization of the contrast material, and MRI revealed a significant increase in the R(1) relaxation rate of labeled fibroblasts. R(1) not only remained elevated for 2 weeks in culture, it also increased with cell proliferation, indicating prolonged retention of the contrast material and subsequent intracellular processing and redistribution of the material, and thereby enhancing MR contrast. Moreover, cells that were labeled ex vivo with MR contrast material and co-inoculated with tumor cells in mice were detected in vivo by MRI. Uptake of the contrast material was suppressed by nystatin, suggesting internalization by caveolae-mediated endocytosis. This study shows that labeling of fibroblasts with biotin-BSA-GdDTPA-FAM is feasible and would allow noninvasive in vivo tracking of fibroblasts during tumor angiogenesis and vessel maturation.
