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

Targeting multiple receptors with bispecific antibodies is a novel approach that may prevent the development of resistance to cancer treatments. Despite the initial promise, full clinical benefit of this technology has yet to be realized. We hypothesized that in order to optimally exploit bispecific antibody technology, thorough fundamental knowledge of their pharmacological properties compared to that of single agent combinations was needed. Therefore, we developed a mathematical model for the binding of bispecific antibodies to their targets that accounts for the spatial distribution of the binding receptors and the kinetics of binding, and is scalable for increasing valency. The model provided an adequate description of internal and literature-reported in vitro data on bispecific binding. Simulations of in vitro binding with the model indicated that bispecific antibodies are not always superior in their binding potency to combination of antibodies, and the affinity of bispecific arms must be optimized for maximum binding potency. Our results suggest that this tool can be used for the design and development of the next generation of anti-cancer bispecific compounds.
