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

Alpha therapy (TAT) relies on combining alpha-emitting radionuclides with specific cell-targeting vectors to deliver a high payload of cytotoxic radiation capable of destroying tumor tissues. TAT efficacy comes from the tissue selectivity of the targeting vector, the high linear energy transfer (LET) of the radionuclide, and the short range of alpha particles in tissues. Recent research studies have been directed to evaluate TAT on a preclinical and clinical scale, including evaluating damage to tumor tissues with minimal toxic radiation effects on surrounding healthy tissues. This review highlights the use of Actinium-225/Bismuth-213 radionuclides as promising candidates for TAT. Herein, we begin with a discussion on the production and supply of [
