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

Immunotherapies have emerged as an effective treatment option for immune-related diseases, such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. However, variations in patient responsiveness limit the broad applicability and success of these immunotherapies. Noninvasive whole-body imaging of the immune status of individual patients during immunotherapy could enable the prediction and monitoring of the patient's response, resulting in more personalized treatments. In this study, we developed a nanobody-based immunotracer targeting CD163, a receptor specifically expressed on macrophages. This anti-CD163 immunotracer bound to human and mouse CD163 with high affinity and specificity without competing for ligand binding. Furthermore, the tracer showed no unwanted immune cell activation and was nonimmunogenic. Upon radiolabeling of the anti-CD163 immunotracer, specific imaging of CD163
