Anti-mucin 4 fluorescent antibody brightly targets colon cancer in patient-derived orthotopic xenograft mouse models: A proof-of-concept study for future clinical applications.
Article in American journal of surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThere is a high rate of positive surgical margins with resection of liver metastases in colorectal cancer (CRC). The present study reports using a fluorescent anti-mucin 4 (MUC4) antibodies to label primary CRC and liver metastases to better visualize tumor margins in mouse models.
methodsWestern blotting for MUC4 protein expression of normal colon and CRC tumor lysates was performed. Orthotopic primary and liver metastatic CRC mouse models received anti-MUC4 antibody conjugated to IR800 (MUC4-IR800). Mice were sacrificed and imaged after 48 hours.
resultsWestern blotting demonstrated increased MUC4 expression in a human CRC cell line and patient-derived primary and liver-metastatic CRCs. The LS174T orthotopic primary CRC model tumor to background ratio (TBR) was 2.04 (±0.35). The patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) primary CRC model TBR was 2.17 (±0.35). The PDOX liver metastasis model TBR was 1.56 (±0.53).
conclusionMUC4-IR800 provided bright labeling of primary and liver tumors in CRC orthotopic mouse models, demonstrating their future clinical potential for margin visualization in fluorescence guided surgery.
