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

Although CD20xCD3 bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have demonstrated transformational activity in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), some patients fail to respond and others relapse. To begin to explore possible limitations, we compared the in vitro activity of four CD20xCD3 biosimilar BsAbs against four DLBCL cell lines with CD20 expression ranging over a 100-fold. All four biosimilar BsAbs demonstrated superior in vitro activity to rituximab, with biosimilar glofitamab consistently being the most potent. Moreover, biosimilar glofitamab and odronextamab retained significant activity in the presence of low-level CD20 expression. Finally, one DLBCL cell line exhibited intrinsic resistance to all four CD20xCD3 BsAbs despite inducing marked T-cell and NK-cell activation.
