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

Molecular-targeted imaging probes can be used with a variety of imaging modalities to detect diseased tissues and guide their removal. EGFR is a useful biomarker for a variety of cancers, because it is expressed at high levels relative to normal tissues. Previously, we showed the anti-EGFR antibody nimotuzumab can be used as a positron emission tomography and fluorescent imaging probe for EGFR positive cancers in mice. These imaging probes are currently in clinical trials for PET imaging and image-guided surgery, respectively. One issue with using antibody probes for imaging is their long circulation time and slow tissue penetration, which requires patients to wait a few days after injection before imaging or surgery, multiple visits and longer radiation exposure. Here, we generated a Fab
