A next-generation anti-CTLA-4 probody mitigates toxicity and enhances anti-tumor immunity in mice.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
CTLA-4 is a promising target for immune checkpoint inhibition in cancer therapy, with CTLA-4 blockade achieving prolonged overall survival for responding patients. However, the progressively elevated doses of anti-CTLA-4 agents, aimed at achieving better efficacy, result in increased toxicities, limiting their clinical applications. Here, we generate a prodrug design of the anti-CTLA-4 antibody, named ProCTLA-4, by folding the Fab fragment of the antibody in a tumor-associated protease-based manner. In preclinical mouse models, ProCTLA-4 effectively depletes suppressive regulatory T cells within the tumor microenvironment and enhances tumor-associated antigen-specific CD8
