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

Molecularly targeted radionuclide therapies (TRTs) struggle with balancing efficacy and safety, as current strategies to increase tumor absorption often alter drug pharmacokinetics to prolong circulation and normal tissue irradiation. Here we report the first covalent protein TRT, which, through reacting with the target irreversibly, increases radioactive dose to the tumor without altering the drug's pharmacokinetic profile or normal tissue biodistribution. Through genetic code expansion, we engineered a latent bioreactive amino acid into a nanobody, which binds to its target protein and forms a covalent linkage via the proximity-enabled reactivity, cross-linking the target irreversibly
