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

Noninvasive near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging is a promising technique for the intraoperative assessment of solid tumor removal. We incorporated a lipophilic NIR probe, 1,1'-dioctadecyltetramethyl indotricarbocyanine iodide (DiR), in poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PEG-b-PCL) micelles, resulting in DiR solubilization in water, occupying nanoscopic PEG-b-PCL micelles. DiR in a self-quenched or nonquenched state showed different kinetics of release from PEG-b-PCL micelles in vitro; however, both obtained high tumor delineation (tumor-to-muscle ratio of 30-43 from collected organs). These results suggest that PEG-b-PCL micelles with DiR are a promising nanosized imaging agent that will provide a basis for enhanced surgical guidance via NIR visualization of tumors. FROM THE CLINICAL EDITOR: In this paper, noninvasive near-infrared fluorescence imaging coupled with specific lipophilic probes is discussed as a promising technique for intraoperative assessment of solid tumor removal, leading to optimized outcomes for in toto removal of tumors.
