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

Avelumab is an IgG1 anti-programmed death ligand 1 (anti-PD-L1) monoclonal antibody that has been approved as a monotherapy for metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma and advanced urothelial carcinoma, and in combination with axitinib for advanced renal cell carcinoma. Avelumab is cleared faster and has a shorter half-life than other anti-PD-L1 antibodies, such as atezolizumab and durvalumab, but the mechanisms underlying these differences are unknown. IgG antibodies can be cleared through receptor-mediated endocytosis after binding of the antibody Fab region to target proteins, or via Fcγ receptor (FcγR)-mediated endocytosis. Unlike other approved anti-PD-L1 antibodies, avelumab has a native Fc region that retains FcγR binding capability. We hypothesized that the rapid clearance of avelumab might be due to the synergistic effect of both FcγR-mediated and PD-L1 target-mediated internalization. To investigate this, we performed
