Synthesis and Expression of a Targeted, Ferritin-Based Tracer for PET Imaging of Kidney Glomeruli.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Cationic ferritin (CF) has been developed as a multimodal, targeted imaging tracer to directly detect and map nephrons in the kidney in vivo. Direct detection of functional nephrons provides a unique, sensitive biomarker to predict or monitor kidney disease progression. CF has been developed to map functional nephron number from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET). Previous preclinical imaging studies have used non-human-derived ferritin and commercial formulations that must still be developed for translation to clinical use. Here we describe the reproducible formulation of CF (either derived from horse or from human recombinant ferritin) optimized for intravenous injection and radiolabeling by PET. The human recombinant heteropolymer ferritin is spontaneously assembled in liquid culture (Escherichia coli, E. coli) and modified to form human recombinant cationic ferritin (HrCF) to mitigate potential immunologic reactions for use in humans.
