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

Neurosurgical fluorescence guidance relies on contrast agents to identify tumor regions to aid in increasing the extent of resection. Existing contrast agents for this indication each have their own limitation: unpredictable contrast from tumor heterogeneity, significant extravasation into the background brain and long incubation times. An ideal contrast agent should have high and rapid contrast that persists well into the surgical procedure. By using a whole animal hyperspectral cryo-imaging system several CAs were screened for these favorable properties and compared to the gold standard of gadolinium enhanced MR. Herein, we briefly report on the leading candidate Rd-PEG1k, which shows high contrast within minutes of administration that persists for at least 90 minutes.
