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

purposeNectin-4 is selectively overexpressed in a variety of cancers and is currently under clinical investigation as a therapeutic target. A monoclonal antibody against nectin-4 (AGS-22M6) was evaluated as an Immuno-positron emission tomography (ImmunoPET) reagent. Its ability to assay nectin-4 expression as well as detect nectin-4 positive tumors in the liver and bone was evaluated using mouse models. PROCEDURES: The biodistribution of [(89)Zr]AGS-22M6 was evaluated in mice bearing tumors with varying levels of nectin-4 expression. An isogenic breast cancer tumor line was used to model metastatic liver and bone disease in mice. The biodistribution of [(18)F]AGS-22M6 in cynomolgus monkeys was evaluated.

resultsA positive correlation was demonstrated between tumor nectin-4 expression and [(89)Zr]AGS-22M6 uptake. Tumors in the liver and bone were detected and differentiated based on nectin-4 expression. [(18)F]AGS-22M6 showed limited uptake in cynomolgus monkey tissues.

conclusions[(89)Zr]AGS-22M6 is a promising ImmunoPET reagent that can assay nectin-4 expression in both primary and metastatic lesions.
