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

To improve the efficacy of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), there has been significant focus on increasing the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) in order to deliver more payload. However, due to the hydrophobicity of many cytotoxics, highly-loaded conjugates often have lower physicochemical stability and poorer pharmacokinetic outcomes, requiring the development of new hydrophilic linkers. Herein, we report a platform for the preparation of functional, sequence-defined polymers for conjugation to antibodies. We demonstrate the successful synthesis of novel diazido macrocyclic sulfate monomers of varied size ranging from 4 to 7 ethylene glycol repeat units. These monomers were then successively ring-opened to produce sequence-defined polymers that contained either 4 or 6 azides for post-synthesis functionalization. Given the hydrophilic ethylene glycol backbone and chemically defined nature of the polymers, we envisioned this as a useful strategy in the preparation of highly-loaded ADCs. To demonstrate this, we prepared a model polymer-fluorophore scaffold composed of 4 coumarin molecules and conjugated it to Herceptin. We fully characterized the conjugate
