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

Introduction: Anti-disialoganglioside 2 (anti-GD2) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are associated with Grade ≥3 (≥G3) adverse events (AEs) such as severe pain, hypotension, and bronchospasm. We developed a novel method of administering the GD2-binding mAb naxitamab, termed "Step-Up" infusion (STU), to reduce the risk of AEs of severe pain, hypotension, and bronchospasm. Methods: Forty-two patients with GD2-positive tumors received naxitamab under "compassionate use" protocols and administered Results: The frequency of infusions with an associated G3 AE was reduced from 8.1% (23/284 infusions) with SIR to 2.5% (5/202 infusions) with STU. The odds of an infusion being associated with a G3 AE reduced by 70.3% with STU vs. SIR (odds ratio: 0.297; Discussion: The comparable pharmacokinetics of naxitamab during SIR and STU may indicate that switching to STU reduces G3 AEs without impact on efficacy.
