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

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is a plasma membrane protein that transmits signals from the extracellular environment, regulating cell homeostasis and function. Dysregulation of FGFR1 leads to the development of human cancers and noncancerous diseases. Numerous tumors overproduce FGFR1, making this receptor a perspective target for cancer therapies. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are highly potent and selective anticancer agents. ADCs are composed of antibodies (targeting factors) fused to highly cytotoxic drugs (warheads). The efficiency of ADC strategy largely depends on the internalization of cytotoxic conjugate into cancer cells. Here, we have studied an interplay between affinity of anti-FGFR1 antibodies and efficiency of their cellular uptake. We have developed a unique set of engineered anti-FGFR1 antibodies that bind the same epitope in the extracellular part of FGFR1, but with different affinities. We have demonstrated that these antibodies are effectively taken up by cancer cells in the FGFR1-dependent manner. Interestingly, we have found that efficiency, defined as rate and level of antibody internalization, largely depends on the affinity of engineered antibodies towards FGFR1, as high affinity antibody displays fastest internalization kinetics. Our data may facilitate design of therapeutically relevant targeting molecules for selective treatment of FGFR1 overproducing cancers.
