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, a family of cell adhesion molecules composed of α and β heterodimeric subunits, are involved in a wide range of cell-extracellular matrix and cell-cell interactions. The study of integrin family members as targets for molecular imaging and therapy has been generally limited with the exception of integrin αvβ3. vβ6, a member of the integrin family, is expressed at low or undetectable levels in normal tissues, but is widely upregulated during many pathological and physiological processes, especially cancer and fibrosis, making it a promising target for molecular imaging. Noninvasive and quantitative imaging of integrin vβ6 expression would be very useful for disease diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and prognosis assessment. Although various molecular probes have been developed for positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography imaging of integrin vβ6 expression in preclinical animal models, further research efforts are required to optimize integrin vβ6-targeting probes for future potential clinical applications in the fields of oncology and beyond.
