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

Islet amyloid deposition composed of amylin aggregates is regarded as one of the hallmarks of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). For the diagnosis of T2DM, several nuclear medical imaging probes have been developed. However, there have been no reports regarding the development of imaging probes targeting amylin. In this report, we investigated the feasibility of amylin imaging using [(125)I]IPBF as one of the model compounds of β-amyloid (Aβ) imaging probes. In in vitro experiments, [(125)I]IPBF exhibited high binding affinity for amylin aggregates (Kd = 8.31 nM). Moreover, autoradiographic images showed that [(125)I]IPBF specifically bound to islet amyloid composed of amylin. These results suggest the potential application of Aβ imaging probes to amylin imaging. In addition, [(125)I]IPBF is one of the promising lead compounds for amylin imaging, and further structural optimization based on [(125)I]IPBF may lead to useful tracers for the in vivo imaging of islet amyloids in the pancreas.
