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

Optimizing radioenhancer design for cancer therapy has been limited by inconsistent metal comparisons and unclear nanoscale mechanisms. High-Z nanoparticles are expected to enhance radiation effects through increased photoelectric absorption and secondary electron production, with the common assumption that radioenhancement efficacy increases uniformly with atomic number. However, this linear relationship may be oversimplified. Here, we introduce a versatile, supramolecular peptide platform enabling direct and standardized comparison of gadolinium (Gd), bismuth (Bi), and hafnium (Hf) as radioenhancers within a single, biologically targeted framework. This system is based on autoassembled peptide heterodimers (E3-K3) incorporating a flexible chelator (DOTAGA) and variable heavy-chain antibody (VHH) domains, ensuring uniform cellular uptake and precise tumor targeting.
