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

backgroundPhenanthroline derivatives are well-known chelators in coordination chemistry, but their potential in the rapidly evolving field of targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) has not yet been explored. In TRT, DOTA remains the gold standard chelator for several clinically relevant radionuclides such as terbium-161, lutetium-177 and bismuth-213. However, its requirement for elevated labeling temperatures is a drawback, particularly for heat-sensitive targeting vectors. Although several alternative chelators have been reported in recent years, there remains an interest in new systems with suitable complexation properties. In this work, we evaluate whether phenanthroline-based ligands can serve as useful chelators in TRT, using the octadentate chelator H
