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

More than half of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients eventually relapse even if treated with surgery and BCG without optional bladder-preserving therapy. This study aims to investigate the antitumor activity and safety of a HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate, RC48-ADC, intravesical instillation for NMIBC treatment. In this preclinical study, it is revealed that human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression scores of 1+, 2+, and 3+ are recorded for 16.7%, 56.2%, and 14.6% of NMIBC cases. The antitumor effect of RC48-ADC is positively correlated with HER2 expression in bladder cancer (BCa) cell lines and organoid models. Furthermore, RC48-ADC is revealed to exert its antitumor effect by inducing G2/M arrest and caspase-dependent apoptosis. In an orthotopic BCa model, tumor growth is significantly inhibited by intravesical instillation of RC48-ADC versus disitamab, monomethyl auristatin E, epirubicin, or phosphate-buffered saline control. The potential toxicity of intravesical RC48-ADC is also assessed by dose escalation in normal nude mice and revealed that administration of RC48-ADC by intravesical instillation is safe within the range of effective therapeutic doses. Taken together, RC48-ADC demonstrates promising antitumor effects and safety with intravesical administration in multiple preclinical models. These findings provide a rational for clinical trials of intravesical RC48-ADC in NMIBC patients.
