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

Kita-kyushu lung cancer antigen 1 (KK-LC-1) is a kind of cancer-testis antigen with anti-tumor potential for clinical application. As a class of small-molecule antigen conjugate, tumor-targeting peptides have broad application prospects in gastric cancer diagnosis, imaging, and biological treatment. Here, we screened specific cyclic nonapeptides from a phage-display library. The targeting peptide with the best affinity was selected and further verified in ex vivo tissue sections. Finally, enrichment of targeting peptides in tumor tissues was observed in vivo, and the dynamic biodistribution process was also observed with micro-positron emission tomography (micro-PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging. Studies showed that the specific cyclic nonapeptide had a high binding capacity for KK-LC-1 protein. It has a strong affinity and specificity for KK-LC-1-expressing positive tumor cells. Targeting peptides were significantly enriched at tumor sites in vivo, with very low normal tissue background. These findings demonstrated that the KK-LC-1 targeting peptide has high clinical potential.
