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

Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor of the colon or rectum, with approximately 150,000 new cases each year. Current treatment strategies, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, face challenges ranging from cancer recurrence, drug resistance to significant toxicity. Therefore, these patients urgently need more effective treatments. Ferroptosis, a novel form of cell death characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has emerged as a promising new approach for treating colorectal cancer. Inactivation of phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (GPX4) or the cysteine/glutamate antiporter SLC7A11 leads to the depletion of cellular glutathione (GSH), resulting in lipid peroxidation and subsequent ferroptosis. Here, we found that CDH17 and GUCY2C are co-overexpressed in colorectal cancer cells and developed a bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (BsADC) targeting CDH17 and GUCY2C, conjugated with the ferroptosis inducer RSL3 (a GPX4 inhibitor). Experimental results showed that, compared to monoclonal antibody ADCs, BsADC exhibits better binding and internalization activities, and could inhibit tumor cell proliferation more effectively. Moreover, the BsADC displayed an advantageous safety profile in mice. These findings suggest that the CDH17-GUCY2C BsADC, which induces ferroptosis in tumor cells, could be a promising new treatment for colorectal cancer.
