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

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is overexpressed on cancer-associated fibroblasts, making it an important target for cancer diagnosis and treatment, but limited tumor retention hinders late-stage diagnosis and radionuclide therapy. In this study, three albumin-bound FAP inhibitor (FAPI) radioligands, 68Ga/177Lu-DOTA-ALB-01, 68Ga/177Lu-DOTA-ALB-02, and 68Ga/177Lu-DOTA-ALB-03, were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro stability, binding affinity, in vivo biodistribution, and tumor uptake using 68Ga and 177Lu labeling. All radioligands are stable in saline and plasma and exhibit high FAP-binding affinity. 177Lu-DOTA-ALB-02 has longer retention in circulation than 177Lu-FAPI-46 and other radioligands. Continuous tumor accumulation was observed during imaging with both 177Lu-DOTA-ALB-01 and 177Lu-DOTA-ALB-02. Notably, 177Lu-DOTA-ALB-02 had a significant tumor/nontarget ratio as indicated by biodistribution data. The outstanding tumor retention properties of 177Lu-DOTA-ALB-02 have been demonstrated in small-animal single-photon emission computed tomography imaging and biodistribution studies; therefore, it is considered the albumin-binding FAPI with the most favorable pharmacokinetic and imaging properties, worthy of further clinical investigation.
