Nectin-4-Targeting Radiotracers: Novel Theranostic Agents for Precision Oncology in Cancer.
Review in Molecular diagnosis & therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Nectin cell adhesion molecule 4 (Nectin-4) is specifically overexpressed in most cancers of epithelial origin but downregulated in normal tissue, representing an ideal target for positron emission tomography imaging. The development of positron emission tomography imaging probes targeting Nectin-4 has gained significant attention in recent years, especially after the approval in December 2019 by the US Food and Drug Administration of enfortumab vedotin-an antibody drug conjugate targeting Nectin-4-in patients with locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer. This article aims to comprehensively review original research articles discussing preclinical development or early translational clinical applications of radiolabeled probes targeting Nectin-4. The main radioactive compounds investigated belong to two classes, antibody-based radiopharmaceuticals and peptide-drug conjugates, in particular novel bicyclic peptides. While monoclonal antibody-based probes have demonstrated theranostic potential in preclinical studies, their clinical application has been hindered by their slow pharmacokinetic properties. However, peptide-based positron emission tomography/computed tomography tracers offer several advantages, such as ease of handling in synthesis, a more favorable biodistribution, and lower immunogenicity and have been tested in preliminary clinical experiences.
