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

Objectives: Sabatolimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody (hIgG4, S228P) directed against human T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3). Herein, we describe the development and characterization of sabatolimab. Methods: Sabatolimab was tested for binding to its target TIM-3 and blocking properties. The functional effects of sabatolimab were tested in T-cell killing and myeloid cell cytokine assays. Antibody-mediated cell phagocytosis (ADCP) by sabatolimab was also assessed. Results: Sabatolimab was shown to (i) enhance T-cell killing and inflammatory cytokine production by dendritic cells (DCs); (ii) facilitate the phagocytic uptake of TIM-3-expressing target cells; and (iii) block the interaction between TIM-3 and its ligands PtdSer/galectin-9. Conclusion: Taken together, our results support both direct anti-leukemic effects and immune-mediated modulation by sabatolimab, reinforcing the notion that sabatolimab represents a novel immunotherapy with immuno-myeloid activity, holding promise for the treatment of myeloid cell neoplasms.
