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

The levels of Met, a tyrosine kinase receptor for the hepatocyte growth factor or scatter factor, are elevated during tissue regeneration, and can be used to assess tissue regeneration associated with engineered tissue grafts. This study involved the development and assessment of a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) molecular probe for the in vivo detection of Met in an experimental rodent (rat) model of disease (C6 glioma). The implication of using these probes in tissue engineering is discussed. The molecular targeting agent we used in our study incorporated a magnetite-based dextran-coated nanoparticle backbone covalently bound to an anti-Met antibody. We used molecular MRI with an anti-Met probe to detect in vivo Met levels as a molecular marker for gliomas. Tumor regions were compared to normal tissue, and found to significantly (p < 0.05) decrease MR signal intensity and T(2) relaxation in tumors. Nonimmune nonspecific normal rat IgG coupled to the dextran-coated nanoparticles was used as a control. Met levels in tumor tissues were confirmed in Western blots. Based on our results, in vivo evaluation of tissue regeneration using molecular MRI is possible in tissue engineering applications.
