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

BACKGROUND/

aimBreast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant disease worldwide. Localized stages of BC can be successfully treated by surgery. However, local recurrence occurs in about 4-10% of patients, requiring systemic treatments that impair the patients' quality of life and shortens life expectancy. Therefore, new therapeutic options are needed, which can be used intraoperatively and contribute to the complete removal of residual tumor cells in the surgical area. In the present study, we describe a cysteine-modified variant of the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab, that was coupled to the silicon phthalocyanine photosensitizer dye WB692-CB1 for the photoimmunotherapy (PIT) of BC. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe cysteine modified trastuzumab variant was cloned and expressed in Expi293F cells. After purification via immobilized affinity chromatography, the antibody was coupled to the dye. Cell binding of the antibody and the antibody dye conjugate was measured by flow cytometry. After incubation of BC cells with the conjugate and activation of the dye by irradiation with red light, cell viability was determined.

resultsThe antibody and the conjugate showed specific binding to HER2-expressing BC cells. Treatment of the HER2

conclusionOur novel antibody dye conjugate represents a promising candidate for intraoperative treatment of localized BC, aiming to eliminate residual tumor cells in the surgical area and potentially reduce local recurrence, thereby improving recovery prospects for BC patients.
