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

backgroundSuccessful treatment of solid cancers relies on precise diagnosis, e.g. using noninvasive molecular imaging, followed by surgical removal and/or chemo/immunotherapy. Despite advances in pre-operative imaging, real-time intraoperative tools remain limited, which often results in high rates of tumor-positive margins and recurrence after tumor resection. To address this limitation, we aimed to develop multifunctional fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAP) targeting tracers for bimodal medical imaging, enabling both pre-operative noninvasive molecular imaging via positron emission tomography (PET) and optical visualization during intraoperative fluorescence-guided surgery.

resultsNODAGA-FAP647 and NODAGA-FAP800 targeting human FAP (hFAP) were synthesized bearing a (R)-NODAGA chelator and a fluorophore (AlexaFluor647 or IRDye800CW, respectively). Binding affinities and binding kinetics of both unlabeled and

conclusionTwo FAP-targeting bimodal ligands were synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo, showing high specificity and selectivity, along with rapid and selective tumor accumulation. Their long tumor retention and high imaging contrast make them promising candidates for clinical translation.
