Evaluation of a Novel MET-Targeting Camelid-Derived Antibody in Head and Neck Cancer.
Article in Molecular pharmaceutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the mesenchymal epithelial transition (MET) receptor drives cancer growth, proliferation, and metastasis. MET is known to be overexpressed in HNSCC and, therefore, is an appealing therapeutic target. In this study, we evaluated MET expression in patients with HNSCC and investigated the potential imaging application of a novel MET-binding single-domain camelid antibody using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in a preclinical MET-expressing HNSCC model. Multiplex immunostaining for MET protein performed on a tissue microarray from 203 patients with HNSCC found 86% of patients to have MET expression, with 14% having high expression and 53% having low MET expression. Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, high MET RNA expression was associated with worse progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with HPV-negative HSNCC. Utilizing flow cytometry and immunofluorescence, our novel camelid antibody fused to a human IgG Fc chain (1E7-Fc) showed high binding affinity and specificity to high MET-expressing Detroit 562 cells but not to low MET-expressing HNSCC cells. The efficacy and biodistribution of [
