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

Reporter gene imaging can enable detection of engineered cells Methods: A lentiviral dual-reporter cassette co-expressing the red fluorescent protein mScarlet-I (mScarlet) and the CEST-MRI reporter SuperCESTide (SC) via a T2A linker was evaluated in CT26 colon carcinoma cells Results: The dual mScarlet-SuperCESTide reporter showed efficient expression in CT26 cells and generated detectable red fluorescence and increased CEST-MRI contrast in reporter-positive tumors compared with contralateral non-transduced controls. Conclusion: We developed a dual CEST-fluorescent reporter platform that enables cross-validated imaging of reporter-transduced hematopoietic cells in deep BM. By integrating noninvasive CEST-MRI with fluorescence-based cellular validation, this feasibility study establishes a preclinical framework for cross-validated, noninvasive assessment of engineered hematopoietic cell localization and persistence
