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 monoclonal antibody rituximab functions through complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and is used to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Elevated serum CA125/MUC16 levels, present in some follicular lymphoma patients, have been shown to correlate with reduced efficacy of rituximab. Previous studies revealed that CA125/MUC16 binds to rituximab, diminishing its CDC and ADCC. A rituximab variant, NAV-006, was engineered to counteract CA125/MUC16's immunosuppressive effects. NAV-006 demonstrated enhanced CDC and ADCC activities and was unaffected by CA125/MUC16. In the present study, NAV-006 showed improved
