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

Monoclonal antibodies that target the inhibitory immune checkpoint axis consisting of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand, PD-L1, have changed the immune-oncology field. We identified K2, an anti-human PD-L1 single-domain antibody fragment, that can enhance T cell activation and tumor cell killing. In this study, the potential of different K2 formats as immune checkpoint blocking medicines was evaluated using a gene-based delivery approach. We showed that 2K2 and 3K2, a bivalent and trivalent K2 format generated using a 12 GS (glycine-serine) linker, were 313- and 135-fold more potent in enhancing T cell receptor (TCR) signaling in PD-1
