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

The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment of patients with cancer. Targeting the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death 1 ligand 1(PD-L1) interaction using monoclonal antibodies has emerged as a prominent focus in tumor therapy with rapid advancements. However, the efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment is hindered by primary or acquired resistance, limiting the effectiveness of single-drug approaches. Moreover, combining PD-1/PD-L1 with other immune drugs, targeted therapies, or chemotherapy significantly enhances response rates while exacerbating adverse reactions. Multispecific antibodies, capable of binding to different epitopes, offer improved antitumor efficacy while reducing drug-related side effects, serving as a promising therapeutic approach in cancer treatment. Several bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have received regulatory approval, and many more are currently in clinical development. Additionally, tri-specific antibodies (TsAbs) and tetra-specific antibodies (TetraMabs) are under development. This review comprehensively explores the fundamental structure, preclinical principles, clinical trial progress, and challenges associated with bsAbs targeting PD-1/PD-L1.
