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

purposeIn this study, we investigated the utility of a novel developed anti-CEACAM5 VHH for cancer diagnosis and its potential of being a targeting-moiety of VHH-drug conjugates for cancer therapy.

methodsAnti-CEACAM5 VHH (6B11) affinity and specific cellular binding was confirmed by ELISA, FACS and immunofluorescence in cancer cell lines with varying CEACAM5 expression levels. Intracellular penetration ability within tumor spheroids was tested with Oregon Green 488 labeled 6B11 (OG488-6B11). Biodistribution and binding specificity of

result6B11 demonstrated high binding affinity (EC

conclusionThe anti-CEACAM5 VHH 6B11 is a good candidate for SPECT-based cancer diagnosis and can be potentially used as targeting moiety in the development of VHH-based drug conjugates for cancer treatments.
