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

Antibodies are the most rapidly growing drug class and have a major impact on human health, particularly in oncology, autoimmunity and chronic inflammatory diseases. Many of the best understood and most tractable cell surface and secreted targets with known roles in human diseases have been extensively exploited for antibody drug development. In this Review, we focus on emerging and novel mechanisms of action of antibodies and innovative targeting strategies that could extend their therapeutic applications, including antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies and antibody engineering to facilitate more effective delivery. These strategies could enable the pursuit of difficult to hit, less well-understood or previously undruggable targets - the 'high-hanging fruit'.
