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

Optical imaging has become an indispensable technology in the clinic. The molecular design of cell-targeted and highly sensitive materials, the validation of specific disease biomarkers, and the rapid growth of clinically compatible instrumentation have altogether revolutionized the way we use optical imaging in clinical settings. One prime example is the application of cancer-targeted molecular imaging agents in both trials and routine clinical use to define the margins of tumors and to detect lesions that are "invisible" to the surgeons, leading to improved resection of malignant tissues without compromising viable structures. In this Perspective, we summarize some of the key research advances in chemistry, biology, and engineering that have accelerated the translation of optical imaging technologies for use in human patients. Finally, our paper comments on several research areas where further work will likely render the next generation of technologies for translational optical imaging.
