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

Several clinical studies demonstrate that there exist other immune checkpoints overexpressed in some PD-1 inhibitor-resistant tumor patients. Among them, Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) is one of the important immune checkpoint molecules and has been clinically demonstrated to have synergistic anti-tumor effects in combination with PD-1 antibody. In this study, we designed a novel 'knob-in-hole' PD-1/LAG-3 bispecific antibody (BsAb) YG-003D3. In conclusion, the BsAb maintained the similar affinity and thermal stability to the parental antibody, and the BsAb structure can be independent of each other in the process of double-target recognition, and the recognition activity will not be affected. Moreover, the BsAb can not only target PD-1 and LAG-3 on single cell simultaneously, but also bridge the two kinds of cells expressing PD-1 and LAG-3, so as to release the 'brake system of immune checkpoints' and activate immune cells to exert anti-tumor effects more effectively. Especially in the PBMCs activation assay, YG-003D3 induced stronger IFN-γ, IL-6, and TNF-α secretion compared to anti-PD-1 or anti-LAG-3 single drug group or even combined drug group. In the tumor killing experiment of PBMC
