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

Glioblastomas are high-grade brain tumours with a poor prognosis and, currently, few available therapeutic options. This lack of effective treatments has been linked to diverse factors, including target selection, tumour heterogeneity and poor penetrance of therapeutic agents through the blood-brain barrier and into tumours. Therapies using monoclonal antibodies, alone or linked to cytotoxic payloads, have proved beneficial for patients with different solid tumours; these approaches are currently being explored in patients with glioblastoma. In this Review, we summarise clinical data regarding antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) against a variety of targets in glioblastoma, and compare the efficacy and toxicity of targeting EGFR with ADCs versus naked antibodies in order to illustrate key aspects of the use of ADCs in this malignancy. Finally, we discuss the complex challenges related to the biology and mutational changes of glioblastoma that can affect the use of ADC-based therapies in patients with this disease, and highlight potential strategies to improve efficacy.
