Review in Frontiers in nuclear medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07420036 (An Open-label, Single-arm, Single-center Study to Evaluate the Diagnostic Efficacy of a Novel PET Probe, 68Ga-SFB6-ZN01, in Patients With Malignant Tumors), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

This mini review of clinically-evaluated integrin αvβ6 PET-tracers reveals distinct differences in human-biodistribution patterns between linear peptides, including disulfide-stabilized formats, compared to head-to-tail cyclized peptides. All PET tracers mentioned in this mini review were able to delineate disease from normal tissues, but some αvβ6 PET tracers are better than others for particular clinical applications. Each αvβ6 PET tracer was validated for its ability to bind integrin αvβ6 with high affinity. However, all the head-to-tail cyclized peptide PET-tracers reviewed here did not accumulate in the GI-tract, in striking contrast to the linear and disulfide-bonded counterparts currently undergoing clinical evaluation in cancer, IPF and long COVID. Multiple independent investigators have reported the presence of β6 mRNA as well as αvβ6 protein in the GI-tract. Currently, there remains further need for biochemical, clinical, and structural data to satisfactorily explain the state-of-the-art in human αvβ6-imaging.
