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

Accurate delineation of tumor margins during prostate cancer surgery remains challenging due to limited intraoperative visualization and insufficient molecular specificity. Here, we developed a PSMA-targeted near-infrared fluorescent probe, PSMA-12-IRDye800CW, that leverages the clinically used IRDye800CW scaffold and its extended emission tail beyond 1000 nm to support NIR-II fluorescence imaging for intraoperative navigation and histopathological margin mapping. Methods: PSMA-12-IRDye800CW integrates a PSMA-targeting ligand with an albumin-binding linker to enable active targeting and circulation-assisted tumor accumulation. Optical properties, targeting specificity, imaging performance, and biosafety were evaluated Results: In 22Rv1 (PSMA⁺) xenografts, PSMA-12-IRDye800CW achieved significantly higher tumor-to-background ratios than ICG at key surgical-relevant time points, including 24 h (4.31 ± 0.17 vs. 2.65 ± 0.15), providing a practical imaging window for fluorescence-guided resection. Conclusions: PSMA-12-IRDye800CW enables NIR-II fluorescence imaging-assisted intraoperative navigation and provides a quantitative, pathology-anchored readout for histopathological margin mapping in prostate cancer, supporting further clinical validation of this PSMA-targeted strategy for fluorescence-guided surgery and margin assessment.
