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
introductionThe hypoxia marker IAZGP, 1-(6-deoxy-6-iodo-beta-d-galactopyranosyl)-2-nitroimidazole, has been labeled with (123)I/(124)I/(125)I/(131)I via iodine-radioiodine exchange, which gives the radiotracer in a specific activity of 10-90 MBq/micromol. We synthesized the same radiotracer possessing several hundred to thousand times higher specific activity (high-SA IAZGP) via nucleophilic substitution and compared its biological behavior with that of conventionally produced IAZGP (low-SA IAZGP) to determine if specific activity is a factor influencing cell uptake kinetics, biodistribution and intratumor microregional localization of the radiotracer.
methodsHigh-SA [(131)I]IAZGP was prepared by substitution of the tosyl functionality with [(131)I]iodide. In vitro uptake of high- and low-SA [(131)I]IAZGP by HCT8 and HT29 cells was assessed in normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Biodistribution and intratumor localization of high- and low-SA [(131)I]IAZGP were determined by injection into HT29 tumor-bearing mice.
resultsThe nucleophilic substitution reaction proceeded efficiently in acetonitrile at 150 degrees C, giving the final product in an average yield of 42% and an average specific activity of 30 GBq/micromol. In vitro, high-SA [(131)I]IAZGP was incorporated into the tumor cells with similar kinetics and oxygen dependence to low-SA [(131)I]IAZGP. In HT29 tumor-bearing mice, biodistributions of high- and low-SA [(131)I]IAZGP were equivalent. Ex vivo autoradiography revealed heterogeneous intratumor localization of high-SA [(131)I]IAZGP corresponding closely to distributions of other exogenous and endogenous hypoxia markers. Comparable microregional distribution patterns were observed with low-SA [(131)I]IAZGP.
conclusionsRadiolabeled IAZGP produced via nucleophilic substitution is validated as an exogenous hypoxia marker. Specific activity does not appear to influence the in vivo hypoxia-mapping ability of the radiotracer.
