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

Targeted therapies for advanced microsatellite stable (MSS) subtype colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC) remain a clinical challenge. Here, we show that death receptor 5 (DR5) is elevated in both MSS and microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) colorectal cancer (CRC) cohorts, highlighting its potential as a clinical target. Oba01, a clinical-stage DR5-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) delivering the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), shows superior efficacy in CRC cell lines, patient-derived xenografts and their corresponding organoids, irrespective of MSS or MSI-H status. Importantly, our functional multi-omics analysis reveals that the cell cycle pathway and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key synergistic targets of Oba01's tumor-killing activity. We further show that Oba01 synergizes with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved CDK inhibitor abemaciclib in clinically relevant in vivo models. This synergy is also observed with other CDK inhibitors, underscoring the potential of combining Oba01 with CDK inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for advanced CRC, particularly the refractory MSS subtype.
