Lecanemab, Aducanumab, and Gantenerumab - Binding Profiles to Different Forms of Amyloid-Beta Might Explain Efficacy and Side Effects in Clinical Trials for Alzheimer's Disease.
Article in Neurotherapeutics : the journal of the American Society for Experimental NeuroTherapeutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 227 papers, 9 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Immunotherapy against amyloid-beta (Aβ) is a promising option for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ exists as various species, including monomers, oligomers, protofibrils, and insoluble fibrils in plaques. Oligomers and protofibrils have been shown to be toxic, and removal of these aggregates might represent an effective treatment for AD. We have characterized the binding properties of lecanemab, aducanumab, and gantenerumab to different Aβ species with inhibition ELISA, immunodepletion, and surface plasmon resonance. All three antibodies bound monomers with low affinity. However, lecanemab and aducanumab had very weak binding to monomers, and gantenerumab somewhat stronger binding. Lecanemab was distinctive as it had tenfold stronger binding to protofibrils compared to fibrils. Aducanumab and gantenerumab preferred binding to fibrils over protofibrils. Our results show different binding profiles of lecanemab, aducanumab, and gantenerumab that may explain clinical results observed for these antibodies regarding both efficacy and side effects.
