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

B7-H3 (CD276), an orphan member of the B7 family, is an immune checkpoint ligand and a tumor-associated antigen. Recent developments regarding dimerization, glycosylation, expression regulation, and effects on cell metabolism are emerging, along with a newfound role as a regulator of obesity. As a therapeutic target, ongoing clinical trials with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) immune cells targeting B7-H3 have proved to be safe and effective across different human cancer types. Multiple new preclinical studies have also provided novel treatments targeting B7-H3, including TMIGD2 optimized potent/persistent (TOP) CAR cells, bispecific ADCs, CAR-natural killer (NK) cells, and T cell engagers. In this review we highlight the diverse emerging functions of B7-H3 in both physiological and pathological conditions, and discuss new therapies targeting this molecule.
