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

Worldwide, cancer is the second leading cause of death. Regardless of the continuous progress in medicine, we still do not have a fully effective anti-cancer therapy. Therefore, the search for new targeted anti-cancer drugs is still an unmet need. Here, we present novel protein-drug conjugates that inhibit tumor growth in a mouse model of human breast cancer. We developed conjugates based on fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) with improved biophysical and biological properties for the efficient killing of cancer cells overproducing fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1). We used hydrophilic and biocompatible PEG4 or PEG27 molecules as a spacer between FGF2 and the toxic agent monomethyl auristatin E. All conjugates exhibited a cytotoxic effect on FGFR1-positive cancer cell lines. The conjugate with the highest hydrodynamic size (42 kDa) and cytotoxicity was found to efficiently inhibit tumor growth in a mouse model of human breast cancer.
