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

CD47 and its receptor signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) act as a dominant antiphagocytic, "don't eat me" signal. Recent studies reveal CD24 as a novel target for cancer immunotherapy by macrophages in ovarian cancer and breast cancer. However, whether simultaneous blockade of CD47 and CD24 by a bispecific antibody may result in a potential synergy is still unclear. In the present study, we for the first time designed and developed a bispecific antibody fusion protein, PPAB001 for cotargeting CD47 and CD24. Data demonstrate that simultaneous blockade of CD47/SIRPα and CD24/Siglec-10 signaling by PPAB001 potently promoted macrophage phagocytosis of tumor cells. Compared to single CD47 or CD24 targeting agents, PPAB001 was more effective in inhibiting tumor growth in both mouse 4T-1 syngeneic and human SK-OV-3 xenogeneic tumor models. Mechanistically, we found that PPAB001 therapy markedly increased the proportion of tumor-infiltrating macrophages and upregulated interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α levels that were representative macrophage inflammatory cytokines. Notably, an increased ratio of M1/M2 in tumor-infiltrating macrophages in the mice treated with PPAB001 suggested that the dual blockade may promote the transition of macrophages from M2 to M1. Taken together, our data supported the development of PPAB001 as a novel immunotherapeutic in the treatment of CD47 and CD24 double-positive cancers.
