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

Cyclooxygenases (COXs) are enzymes that play a vital role in the inflammatory cascade through the generation of prostaglandins. Their over-expression has been implicated in numerous diseases. In particular, over-expression of COX-2 has been shown to be a predictive biomarker for progression of pre-malignant lesions towards invasive cancer in various tissues. This makes the early detection of COX-2 expressing lesions of high clinical relevance. Herein we describe the development of the first self-immolating trigger which targets COXs. We incorporated our trigger design into 2 activatable fluorogenic probes and demonstrated COX-specific activation in vitro. Experimental data revealed probe activation was likely caused by solvent-exposed amino acids on the surface of the COXs. Overall, the probes reported here mark the first step towards developing self-immolating imaging/therapeutic agents targeted to specific COXs.
