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

purposeWe aimed to develop a gallium-68 (Ga-68)-labeled single-chain variable fragment (scFv) targeting the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) to rapidly and noninvasively evaluate the status of HER2 expression. PROCEDURES: Anti-HER2 scFv was labeled with Ga-68 by using deferoxamine (Df) as a bifunctional chelate. Biodistribution of [(68)Ga]Df-anti-HER2 scFv was examined with tumor-bearing mice and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was performed. The changes in HER2 expression after anti-HER2 therapy were monitored by PET imaging.

results[(68)Ga]Df-anti-HER2 scFv was obtained with high radiochemical yield after only a 5-min reaction at room temperature. The probe showed high accumulation in HER2-positive xenografts and the intratumoral distribution of radioactivity coincided with HER2-positive regions. Furthermore, [(68)Ga]Df-anti-HER2 scFv helped visualize HER2-positive xenografts and monitor the changes in HER2 expression after anti-HER2 therapy.

conclusion[(68)Ga]Df-anti-HER2 scFv could be a promising probe to evaluate HER2 status by in vivo PET imaging, unless trastuzumab is prescribed as part of the therapy.
