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

Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths; until now, the detection of tumor metastasis is mainly located at the period that secondary tumors have been formed, which usually results in poor prognosis. Thus, fast and precise positioning of organs, where tumor metastases are likely to occur at its earliest stages, is essential for improving patient outcomes. Here, we demonstrated a phosphorescence imaging method by organic nanoparticles to detect early tumor metastasis progress with microenvironmental changes, putting the detection period ahead to the formation of secondary tumors. In the orthotopic and simulated hematological tumor metastasis models, the microenvironmental changes could be recognized by phosphorescence imaging at day 3, after tumor implantation in liver or intravenous injection of cancer cells. It was far ahead those of other reported imaging methods with at least 7 days later, providing a sensitive and convenient method to monitor tumor metastases at the early stage.
