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

purposeA magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent based on a tetrameric Gd-DTPA-like system linked to a fibrin-targeting peptide (Gd-F) has been designed for in vivo tumor characterization. PROCEDURES: Gd-F was synthesized following Fmoc-SPPS strategy. Binding was measured using soluble fibrin DD(E) fragment and a dried fibrin assay. Contrast efficiency was tested on human and mouse clots and in vivo on Neuro2A tumor model. An anti-thrombotic drug was used to evaluate Gd-F sensitivity for changes in fibrin availability at the tumor site.

resultsThe high relaxivity of Gd-F (42 mM(-1) s(-1), per molecule) yielded a strong signal enhancement in human and murine clots. High contrast was also measured in vivo in Neuro2A tumors, with a persistent enhancement in tumor rim and stroma. Upon treatment with an anti-thrombotic drug, the contrast uptake was significantly reduced in the tumor area confirming the specificity of the probe.

conclusionsGd-F resulted to be an efficient probe for tumor delineation and for monitoring fibrin deposits during tumor progression and anti-thrombotic therapy.
