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

Clinical studies have shown that combination therapy of PD-1 and VEGF antibodies significantly improves clinical benefit over PD-1 antibody alone in certain settings. Ivonescimab, an on-market tetravalent anti-PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, was designed to improve efficacy and safety over combo therapy. In this study, the mechanism of action is investigated. In the presence of VEGF, ivonescimab forms soluble complexes with VEGF dimers, leading to the enhanced binding avidity of ivonescimab to PD-1 therefore promoting its increased potency on PD-1/PD-L1-signaling blockade. Likewise, PD-1 binding enhanced ivonescimab binding to VEGF, therefore enhancing VEGF-signaling blockade. Furthermore, ivonescimab treatment demonstrated statistically significant anti-tumor response
