Tebentafusp as a Promising Drug for the Treatment of Uveal Melanoma.
Review in Current drug targets, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults and commonly occurs in the Caucasian population. The malignancy involves the uvea of the eye, which includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. The etiology of UM is still not well understood, but age is a risk factor. Symptoms include blurred vision, redness of the eye, floaters, dark spots, a change in the size of the pupil, and loss of vision. The location, shape, and size of the tumor are important for therapeutic purposes. Treating metastasis is always a challenge in UM cases. In cases of lung metastasis, the survival rate decreases. Treatment includes surgery, laser therapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy. Recently, in 2022, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug tebentafusp. Tebentafusp was developed to target the most common HLA complex in humans. The present review discusses the indications for the use of a new drug tebentafusp, its mechanism of action, dose, pharmacokinetics, results of clinical trials conducted, and adverse effects like cytokine release syndrome. Hence, tebentafusp is the first T cell receptor (TCR) therapeutic drug that could be considered for the treatment of UM.
