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

backgroundProgrammed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) combined with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) represents a promising combinatorial treatment because of the "magic" bystander and abscopal effects of RPT. However, the overall efficacy of this combinatorial approach is often constrained by limited tumor retention and insufficient accumulation of existing radiopharmaceuticals. D-peptides, with their superior metabolic stability, offer a promising modality to overcome these limitations. We previously reported [

methodsHerein, fluorine modification-directed rational design was used to optimize DPA's target engagement and retention, thereby boosting its immune-activating potential in RPT. Following two rounds of screening, a series of fluorinated D-peptides was synthesized. Their in vivo performance was assessed by positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging in tumor-bearing mice and subsequently in patients with cancer. The therapeutic efficacy of the corresponding

results[

conclusionThis study highlights the potential of fluorinated D-peptide radiopharmaceuticals as powerful PD-L1 targeting radiotheranostics, enabling more effective systemic antitumor efficacy in RPT and ICB combination therapy.
