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

Purpose of Review: This study is to highlight the incidence of corneal pseudomicrocysts in FDA-approved antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and success of preventive therapies for pseudomicrocysts and related ocular surface adverse events (AEs). Recent Findings: ADCs are an emerging class of selective cancer therapies that consist of a potent cytotoxin connected to a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets antigens expressed on malignant cells. Currently, there are 11 FDA-approved ADCs with over 164 in clinical trials. Various AEs have been attributed to ADCs, including ocular surface AEs (keratitis/keratopathy, dry eye, conjunctivitis, blurred vision, corneal pseudomicrocysts). While the severity and prevalence of ADC-induced ocular surface AEs are well reported, the reporting of corneal pseudomicrocysts is limited, complicating the development of therapies to prevent or treat ADC-related ocular surface toxicity. Summary: Three of 11 FDA-approved ADCs have been implicated with corneal pseudomicrocysts, with incidence ranging from 41 to 100% of patients. Of the six ADCs that reported ocular surface AEs, only three had ocular substudies to investigate the benefit of preventive therapies including topical steroids, vasoconstrictors, and preservative-free lubricants. Current preventive therapies demonstrate limited efficacy at mitigating pseudomicrocysts and other ocular surface AEs.
