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

backgroundGastric cancer represents one of the most common causes of cancer deaths worldwide. Overexpression of ErbB2, a tyrosine kinase receptor involved in the pathogenesis of several human cancer types, has been reported also in gastric cancer. Thus, the inhibition of ErbB2 signal transduction pathways by the use of human antibodies could be a valuable strategy for the therapy of this type of cancer.

methodsWe tested for the first time the antitumor effects on gastric cancer cells of Erb-hcAb, a novel fully human compact antibody, prepared in our laboratory, which targets a different epitope of ErbB2 with respect to trastuzumab, the only anti-ErbB2 antibody currently in clinical use for both breast and gastric cancer therapy.

resultsHerein we demonstrate that the in vitro and in vivo growth of gastric cancer cells is efficiently inhibited by Erb-hcAb, which shows antitumor effects on the NCI-N87 cell line more potent than those observed for trastuzumab.

conclusionsErb-hcAb could be a promising candidate in the immunotherapy of gastric cancer as it combines the antiproliferative effect associated with the inhibition of ErbB2 signaling on tumor target cells with the ability to induce antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
