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

Claudin-18 isoform 2 (CLDN18.2), a tight junction protein expressed in non-malignant gastric epithelium and exposed on tumor cell surface during malignant transformation, is a promising therapeutic target for gastric and gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancers. SHR-A1904 is an antibody-drug conjugate comprising CLDN18.2-targeting monoclonal antibody, a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor payload and a cleavable peptide-based linker. We conducted a first-in-human, three-stage, phase 1 study to evaluate SHR-A1904 in 95 previously treated patients with CLDN18.2-positive advanced G/GEJ cancer. In the dose-escalation stage (0.6-8.0 mg kg
