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

Rationale: Cervical lymph node metastases in oral cancer patients are a frequent occurrence and important prognostic factor. Anatomical and molecular imaging modalities can identify neck metastases with varying sensitivity and specificity but perform poorly in clinically negative neck nodes with microscopic disease. Herein we investigate the use of porphyrin-lipid nanotheranostics (PS) for multimodal detection of neck disease in preclinical models of oral cancer. Methods: Xenograft models of tongue cancer were established in nude rats using MOC2 mouse oral squamous cells. PS nanoparticles were radiolabelled with positron-emitting Copper-64 ( Results: The tongue tumour model yielded micrometastases to 54% of neck nodes by 14 d post-implantation. Following IT injection, sentinel and metastatic lymph nodes were visible with Conclusions: Nanotheranostic
