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

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is expressed in 75% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but not normal liver, making it a promising HCC therapeutic target. GC33 is a full-length humanized monoclonal IgG1 specific to GPC3 that can localize to HCC in vivo. GC33 alone failed to demonstrate therapeutic efficacy when evaluated in patients with HCC; however, we posit that cytotoxic functionalization of the antibody with therapeutic radionuclides, may be warranted. Alpha particles, which are emitted by radioisotopes such as Actinium-225 (Ac-225) exhibit high linear energy transfer and short pathlength that, when targeted to tumors, can effectively kill cancer and limit bystander cytotoxicity. Macropa, an 18-member heterocyclic crown ether, can stably chelate Ac-225 at room temperature. Here, we synthesized and evaluated the efficacy of [
