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

Immunotherapy revolutionized the treatment landscape of several cancers, including small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), with a huge number of practice-changing trials, and becoming a new frontier for their management. The addition of an anti-PD-L1, atezolizumab or durvalumab, to platinum/etoposide regimen became the standard of care for first-line therapy of extensive-stage (ES)-SCLC with the 12 months median survival exceeded for the first time. Nevertheless, most patients show primary or acquired resistance to anti-PD-L1 therefore new promising therapeutic immune-targets are under clinical investigation in several solid tumors. Among these, B7-H3, also known as CD276, is a member of the B7 family overexpressed in tumor tissues, including SCLC, while showing limited expression in normal tissues becoming an attractive and promising target for cancer immunotherapy. B7-H3 plays a dual role in the immune system during the T-cell activation, acting as a T-cell costimulatory/coinhibitory immunoregulatory protein, and promoting pro-tumorigenic functions such as tumor migration, invasion, metastases, resistance, and metabolism. Immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and immunofluorescence were the most used methods to assess B7-H3 expression levels and validate a possible relationship between B7-H3 staining patterns and clinicopathological features in lung cancer patients. To date, there are no clinically available therapeutics/drugs targeting B7-H3 in any solid tumors. The most promising preliminary clinical results have been reported by DS7300a and HS-20093, both are antibody-drug conjugates, that are under investigation in ongoing trials for the treatment of pretreated SCLC. This review will provide an overview of B7-H3 and corresponding inhibitors and the clinical development in the management of SCLC.
