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

objectivesMesothelin (MSLN) is an antigen that is overexpressed in various cancers, and its interaction with tumor-associated cancer antigen 125 plays a multifaceted role in tumor metastasis. The serum MSLN expression level can be detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; however, non-invasive visualization of its expression at the tumor site is currently lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a molecular probe for imaging MSLN expression through positron emission tomography (PET).

methodsVHH 269-H4 was obtained via immunization of llama using a fragment of MSLN from residue 360 to residue 597. S-2-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (p-SCN-Bn-NOTA) was conjugated to VHH 269-H4 to yield precursor NOTA 269-H4 for radiolabeling. The chelator-to-VHH ratio was determined by mass spectrometry. The binding kinetics of VHH 269-H4 and NOTA 269-H4 were measured by surface plasmon resonance. Flow cytometry was carried out using the anti-mesothelin monoclonal antibody Anetumab to select MSLN-positive and MSLN-negative cell lines. After radiolabeling, the radiochemical purity and in vitro stability were tested by radio-thin-layer chromatography and size exclusion chromatography, respectively. A saturation binding assay was conducted to measure the dissociation constant (K

resultsVHH 269-H4 targeting MSLN was obtained with a K

conclusionsTo our knowledge, our studies achieved the first-time to non-invasively detect MSLN expression clearly using a single domain antibody fragment. To sum up, [
