Tumor sink effect on melanin-ligand [
Article in EJNMMI research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe tumor sink effect refers to the sequestration of a radiopharmaceutical compound by tumors, leading to a reduced bioavailability in non-target organs and potential alterations in radiopharmaceuticals distribution. This phenomenon has been widely studied in neuroendocrine, thyroid, and prostate cancers but remains unexplored for melanin-targeting radiopharmaceuticals in metastatic melanoma. [
resultsWe conducted an ex vivo biodistribution study using syngeneic murine melanoma models (B16-F10, B16-OVA, B16BL6) and correlated tumor volume with radiopharmaceutical uptake. In models, γ-counting revealed significant tumor uptake (18.8 ± 4.5 IA%/g at 24 h after injection of [
conclusionThese findings suggest that tumor burden impacts [
