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

Fluorescence-guided surgery is an emerging clinical field that aims to improve cancer detection in real-time, enabling spot-on therapeutic decisions. The use of fluorescent affinity probes has primarily involved systemically injected probes and, more recently, "spray-on probes". A current challenge has been to develop "turn-off" probes that can be inactivated by a UV light pulse and reduce background noise during iterative decision-making. Here, we report on the first development of a FAP-targeted erasable spray-on probe (ESOP). The probe consists of three components: (i) a highly bright, yellow light-emitting rhodamine dye, (ii) a photo-responsive linear triazene linker, and (iii) a FAP affinity ligand. We demonstrate that this probe could enable highly sensitive tumor-specific margin visualization within minutes after a spray-on application. Moreover, we show that the fluorescent signals could be fully erased with a 2-min UV-light pulse in tissue, permitting iterative staining applications with consistently high tumor-to-background ratios (TBRs). ESOP targeted against cancer or host tissue is feasible and is likely to yield transformative impacts on next-generation cancer surgeries, ultimately improving patient care.
