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

Successfully extending immunotherapies to solid tumors involves addressing several key challenges, importantly the "antigen dilemma", the expression of a solid tumor target antigen on the normal tissue of tumor origin. Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) has emerged as an important target for upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancer therapies (such as Zolbetuximab, a naked antibody, recently approved; or CT041, a second-generation chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy with promising clinical data). However, GI toxicities are reported from clinical use of both Zolbetuximab and CT041. Here, we describe clinical Zolbetuximab treatment associated cases of gastric erosive lesions. We also demonstrate and characterize on-target/off-tumor gastric toxicity targeting CLDN18.2 in a preclinical mouse model of CT041-scFv derived CAR T cell therapy. By developing CLDN18.2 fully-human VH-only single domain CARs, we demonstrate that on-target/off-tumor toxicity inversely correlates with affinity of the binder, and that a lower affinity CAR may widen the therapeutic window for CLDN18.2 by decreasing on-target/off-tumor toxicity while preserving efficacy.
