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

backgroundPD-L1, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, and VEGFR2, essential for cancer metastasis, play pivotal roles in tumorigenesis. However, their miniature bispecific intracellular nanobodies for combining check-point blockade and anti-metastasis anticancer therapy remain underexplored.

methodsThe intrabodies were developed using gene cloning technology. Specificity of the intrabodies was testified using Western blot, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) analysis, antibody competitive binding assay, flow cytometry analysis, etc. Checkpoint blockade was demonstrated using antibody-antigen competitive binding assay. Cancer cell migration was determined using scratch assay. Combined anti-cancer therapeutic efficacy of FAP1V2 was determined in vivo of mice models. The PD-1
