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

Aberrant expression of claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) has frequently been observed in gastric and gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma, making it a promising therapeutic target for this aggressive cancer. While a monoclonal antibody targeting CLDN18.2 has been approved for G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have also emerged as therapeutic modalities. IBI343 is an ADC consisting of a fully humanized anti-CLDN18.2 monoclonal antibody conjugated to exatecan via site-specific glycol conjugation and a cleavable linker with a drug-to-antibody ratio of 4. Here we present the results from a phase 1 dose escalation and dose expansion study of the IBI343 ADC. A total of 127 patients were enrolled and dosed (19 in the escalation phase and 108 in the expansion phase). Dose-limiting toxicities occurred in two of six participants at a dose of 10 mg kg
