Cetuximab produced from a goat mammary gland expression system is equally efficacious as innovator cetuximab in animal cancer models.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
There is increasing demand for improved production and purification systems for biosimilar or biobetter humanised monoclonal antibodies and animal production systems offer one such possibile option. Cetuximab, also known as 'Erbitux', is a humanised monoclonal antibody widely used in cancer therapy. We have previously reported on a genetically engineered goat system to produce cetuximab (gCetuximab) in milk. Herein we report that gCetuximab has similar bioactivity and pharamacokinetic properties compared with the commercial product produced in mammalian cell culture. In particular both forms have very similar efficacy in a HT29 colorectal cancer xenograft model alone or when conjugated to the toxin MMAE. This also demonstrates that the gCetuximab will be a viable vehicle for antibody drug conjugate based therapies. Taken together, this shows that the goat milk monoclonal antibody production system is an effective way of producing a biosimilar form of cetuximab.
