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

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are essential agents for cancer treatment and diagnosis. Advanced optical imaging strategies have the potential to address specific questions regarding their complex in vivo life cycle. This study presents responsive shortwave infrared (SWIR) probes and an associated imaging scheme to assess mAb biodistribution, cellular uptake, and proteolysis. Specifically, we identify a Pegylated benzo-fused norcyanine derivative (Benz-NorCy7) that is activated in acidic environments and can be appended to mAbs without significant changes in optical properties. As a mAb conjugate, this agent shows high tumor specificity in a longitudinal imaging study in a murine model. To enable independent tracking of mAb uptake and lysosomal uptake and retention, a two-color ratiometric imaging strategy was employed using an "always-ON" heptamethine cyanine dye (λ
