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

Biologics, including monoclonal antibodies (mAb), have proved to be effective and successful therapeutic agents, particularly in the treatment of cancer and immune-inflammatory conditions, as well as allergies and infections. However, their use carries an inherent risk of an immune-mediated adverse drug reaction. In this study, we describe the use of a novel pre-clinical human in vitro skin explant test for predicting skin sensitization and adverse immune reactions. The skin explant test was used to investigate the effects of therapeutic antibodies, which are known to cause a limited reaction in a small number of patients or more severe reactions. MATERIAL AND

methodsImmune responses were determined by T cell proliferation and multiplex cytokine analysis, as well as histopathological analysis of skin damage (grades I-IV in increasing severity), predicting a negative (grade I) or positive (grade ≥ II) response for an adverse skin sensitization effect.

resultsT cell proliferation responses were significantly increased in the positive group (

conclusionsOverall, the skin explant test correctly predicted the clinical outcome of 13 out of 16 therapeutic monoclonal antibodies with a correlation coefficient of 0.770 (
