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

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor that seriously threatens human health. Its high mortality is mainly due to delayed diagnosis, which makes early detection important for improving patient prognosis. Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging, with its high signal-to-noise ratio and good sensitivity, has been widely applied in biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. NOTCH2 is often overexpressed in gastric cancer and may serve as a useful target for diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we constructed a NOTCH2-targeted single-chain variable fragment (scFv) conjugated with indocyanine green (ICG) and evaluated its application in gastric cancer imaging in vitro and in vivo. The ICG-scFv probe showed similar photophysical properties to free ICG and was specifically taken up by MKN45 gastric cancer cells. In NIR imaging, ICG-scFv selectively accumulated in tumor tissue, achieved tumor-specific imaging, and maintained fluorescence signals for a longer time, which was further confirmed by colocalization analysis. These results indicate that the targeted fluorescent probe ICG-scFv may have potential value in the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.
