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.

Abstract

Overexpression of neurotensin receptors (NTRs) has been suggested to play important roles in the growth and survival of a variety of tumor types. The aim of this study is to develop a dual-modality probe (64Cu -DOTA-NT-Cy5.5) for imaging NTR1 expression in vivo with both positron emission tomography (PET) and fluorescence. In this approach, the thiol group and N terminal amino group of neurotensin analogue (Cys-NT) were chemically modified with Cy5.5 dye and DOTA chelator, respectively. After radiolabeling with 64Cu, the resulting probe (64Cu-DOTA-NT-Cy5.5) was evaluated in NTR1 positive HT-29 tumor model. Small animal PET quantification analysis demonstrated that the tumor uptake was 1.91±0.22 and 1.79±0.16%ID/g at 1 and 4 h postinjection (p.i.), respectively. The tumor-to-muscle ratio was 17.44±3.25 at 4 h p.i. based on biodistribution. Receptor specificity was confirmed by the successful blocking experiment at 4 h p.i. (0.42±0.05%ID/g). In parallel with PET experiment, fluorescence imaging was also performed, which demonstrated prominent tumor uptake in HT-29 model. As a proof of concept, an imaging guided surgery was performed to the fluorescent moiety of this probe and could provide potential surgery guidance for NTR positive patients. In summary, our results clearly indicated that the dual-modality probe, 64Cu-DOTA-NT-Cy5.5, could serve as a promising agent to image NTR positive tumors in vivo.
