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

Cancer patients benefit from significantly higher survival rates if tumors are detected at early stages and prior to metastasis. Positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and other imaging techniques allow for noninvasive diagnosis of various tumors in relatively short periods. Targeted delivery of radiation is also an important approach in cancer therapy. Due to the dynamic nature of RNA, RNA nanoparticles demonstrate spontaneous tumor targeting, resulting in rapid accumulation in tumors without the use of targeting ligands. Incorporating tumor-targeting ligands on RNA nanoparticles generates enhanced tumor accumulation and targeting. Here a unique technology to specifically label three-way junction (3WJ) RNA nanoparticles is reported to carry radioisotopes or other imaging markers for cancer imaging. Two RNA nanoparticles were constructed to target prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) via a PSMA RNA aptamer or conjugated tert-Butyl-DCL (DCL). The spontaneous cancer homing of the RNA complex resulted in the detection of tumors with high sensitivity in mouse models, which can be applied to any cancer subtype at an early stage. Tumor accumulation occurred due to the motile and deformable nature of RNA nanoparticles, allowing for the high tumor accumulation of the imaging reagent via passing rapidly growing and leaky capillaries in the tumor vasculature. Furthermore, RNA nanoparticles conjugated with a NOTA radioisotope chelator were incubated with
