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

Human protein biomarker discovery relies heavily on pre-clinical models, in particular established cell lines and patient-derived xenografts, but confirmation studies in primary tissue are essential to demonstrate clinical relevance. We describe in this study the process that was followed to clinically translate a 5-protein response signature predictive for the activity of an anti-HER3 monoclonal antibody (lumretuzumab) originally measured in fresh frozen xenograft tissue. We detail the development, qualification, and validation of the multiplexed targeted mass spectrometry assay used to assess the signature performance in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human clinical samples collected in a phase Ib trial designed to evaluate lumretuzumab in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We believe that the strategy delineated here provides a path forward to avoid the time- and cost-consuming step of having to develop immunological reagents against unproven targets. We expect that mass spectrometry-based platforms may become part of a rational process to rapidly test and qualify large number of candidate biomarkers to identify the few that stand a chance for further development and validation.
