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

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have demonstrated great therapeutic potential due to their ability to target the delivery of potent cytotoxins. However, the heterogeneous nature of conventional drug conjugation strategies can affect the safety, efficacy, and stability of ADCs. Site-specific conjugations can resolve these issues, but often require genetic modification of Immunoglobulin G (IgG), which can impact yield or cost of production, or require undesirable chemical linkages. Here, we describe a near-traceless conjugation method that enables the efficient modification of native IgG, without the need for genetic engineering or glycan modification. This method utilizes engineered variants of sortase A to catalyze noncanonical isopeptide ligation. Sortase A was fused to an antibody-binding domain to improve ligation efficiency. Antibody labeling is limited to five lysine residues on the heavy chain and one on the light chain of human IgG1. The ADCs exhibit conserved antigen and Fc-receptor interactions, as well as potent cytolytic activity.
