5T4 oncofoetal antigen: an attractive target for immune intervention in cancer.
Review in Cancer immunology, immunotherapy : CII, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05137275 (Dose Escalation and Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Initial Efficacy of Anti-5T4 CAR-raNK Cell Therapy in Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors), which is not on this map. Cited by 48 papers.
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.
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.

Abstract
The natural history of a patient's cancer is often characterised by genetic diversity and sequential sweeps of clonal dominance. It is therefore not surprising that identifying the most appropriate tumour-associated antigen for targeted intervention is challenging. The 5T4 oncofoetal antigen was identified by searching for surface molecules shared between human trophoblast and cancer cells with the rationale that they may function to allow survival of the foetus as a semi-allograft in the mother or a tumour in its host. The 5T4 protein is expressed by many different cancers but rarely in normal adult tissues. 5T4 molecules are 72 kD, heavily N-glycosylated proteins with several leucine-rich repeats which are often associated with protein-protein interactions. 5T4 expression is associated with the directional movement of cells through epithelial mesenchymal transition, potentiation of CXCL12/CXCR4 chemotaxis and inhibition of canonical Wnt/beta-catenin while favouring non-canonical pathway signalling; all processes which help drive the spread of cancer cells. The selective pattern of 5T4 tumour expression, association with a tumour-initiating phenotype plus a mechanistic involvement with cancer spread have underwritten the clinical development of different immunotherapeutic strategies including a vaccine, a tumour-targeted superantigen and an antibody drug conjugate. In addition, a chimeric antigen receptor T cell approach targeting 5T4 expressing tumour cells is in pre-clinical development. A key challenge will include how best to combine each 5T4 targeted immunotherapy with the most appropriate standard of care treatment (or adjunct therapy) to maximise the recovery of immune control and ultimately eliminate the tumour.
