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

Radiolabeled amino acids, their derivatives and peptides have a broad scope of application and can be used as receptor ligands, as well as enzyme substrates for many different diseases as radiopharmaceutical tracers. Over the past few decades, the application of molecular imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) has gained considerable importance and significance in diagnosis in today's advanced health care. Next to that, the availability of cyclotrons and state-of-the-art radiochemistry facilities has progressed the production of imaging agents enabling the preparation of many versatile PET radiotracers. Due to many favorable characteristics of radiolabeled amino acids and peptides, they can be used for tumor staging and monitoring the progress of therapy success, while aromatic amino acids can be employed as PET tracer to study neurological disorders. This review provides a comprehensive overview of radiosynthetic and enzymatic approaches towards carbon-11 amino acids, their analogues and peptides, with focus on stereoselective reactions, and reflects upon their clinical application.
