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.

Abstract

Systemic immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis is characterized by pathologic deposition of immunoglobulin light chains as amyloid fibrils in vital organs, leading to organ impairment and eventual death. That the process is reversible was evidenced in an in vivo experimental model in which fibril-reactive chimeric monoclonal antibody (mAb) 11-1F4 directly targeted human light-chain amyloid deposits and affected their removal via a phagocyte-mediated response. To determine the tolerability and potential amyloidolytic effect of this agent (now designated mAb CAEL-101), we conducted a phase 1a/b study involving 27 patients, most of whom had manifestations of organ involvement. This was an open-label study in which phase 1a patients received mAb CAEL-101 as a single intravenous infusion with escalating dose levels from 0.5 mg/m2 to 500 mg/m2 to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). In phase 1b, the antibody was administered as a graded series of 4 weekly infusions. For both phases, there were no drug-related serious adverse events or dose-limiting toxicities among recipients, and the MTD was not reached. The majority of patients had deep hematologic responses but persistent organ disease prior to treatment. Fifteen of 24 patients (63%) who manifested cardiac, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, or soft tissue involvement had a therapeutic response to mAb CAEL-101 as evidenced by serum biomarkers or objective imaging modalities with a median time to response of 3 weeks. Infusions of mAb CAEL-101 were well tolerated and, for the majority, resulted in improved organ function, notably for those with cardiac impairment. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02245867.
