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

backgroundThe bispecific antibody (bsAbs) research around the world has undergone great changes. We analyzed the global trend of bsAbs research and compared the differences in clinical research of bsAbs between China and worldwide.

methodsBsAbs research clinical trials information was retrieved through the online open-resource clinical trial registration platform. Research information including organizations, identity numbers, locations, phases, participating centers, conditions, status, enrollment, targets, spectrums of mechanism of action (MOA), and start date was collected. Clinical trials were divided into two categories based on the attributes of pharmaceutical companies (international or China-initiated or involved).

resultsFrom 1997 to 2020, 272 clinical trials regarding bsAbs research were retrieved. Twenty-nine percent of the studies were contributed by companies from Chinese institutions, which followed the USA and ranked second. The clinical trials of bsAbs are mainly concentrated on phase I (n = 161), phase I/II (n = 54), and phase II (n = 51), and the number of phase III trials is still rare (n = 4). Tumor species distribution analysis shows that there are significantly higher focuses on gastric cancer (n = 18), esophageal/gastroesophageal junction cancer (n = 16), bladder cancer (n = 10), biliary malignant tumor (n = 8), nasopharyngeal cancer (n = 6), and thymic cancer (n = 2) in China. BsAbs target and spectrums of MOA analysis showed that international companies mainly focus on bsAbs with CD3-based (n = 63) target with MOA of T-cell redirection, while researches in China pay more attention to PD-1 (n = 9)/PD-L1 (n = 7) axises with MOA of double immune checkpoint blocking.

conclusionGlobal bsAbs research increased rapidly during the 1997 to 2020 period. The developed countries in America and Europe are leading the trend of bsAbs research. Anticancer bsAbs clinical research in China is booming and chasing after the world trend.
