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

purposeTo study the association between [

methodsWe enrolled 59 patients from August 2021, of whom 28 underwent surgical treatment after systemic therapy. The patients were investigated for a correlation between baseline fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) uptake and PTR using College of American Pathologists (CAP) scores. The FAPI PET variables include standardised uptake value (SUV)max, SUVmean, metabolic tumour volume (MTV), and total lesion FAP expression (TLF). A PET/CT scan obtained before surgery in 14 patients facilitated assessing changes in FAPI uptake through treatment, and their association with PTR. Multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC) analysis identified the FAPI biodistribution in the PC tumours.

resultsThe SUVmax correlated positively with FAP expression in PC tissues. However, there was no correlation between baseline variables and the CAP scores. Treatment resulted in remarkably reduced MTV and TLF in all patients. The baseline SUVmax and SUVmean of patients with a good PTR (CAP score ≤ 2) differed from those after treatment (p = 0.001). An FITC-FAPI probe intuitively showed that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumour cells had a similar FITC-FAPI fluorescence intensity, indicating a negative association between tumour regression and [

conclusionGreater changes in FAPI uptake through treatment were associated with a better PTR in patients with PC and might be valuable in predicting prolonged survival. These results are clinically meaningful when selecting candidates for conversion surgery during systemic treatment.
