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

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) constitute cornerstone therapeutics in oncology, yet their clinical utility is often limited by on-target, off-tumor toxicity due to shared antigen expression in both tumor and healthy tissues. To counteract this issue, various approaches, including pH-dependent, as well as affinity-based and steric hindrance-based masked antibodies, have been developed. Several steric hindrance-based masking strategies have been proposed utilizing non-human proteins, potentially leading to an immunogenic response. To address this challenge, we engineered a modular protein-based masking platform leveraging the high-affinity interaction between human calmodulin (CaM) and a calmodulin-binding peptide (CBP). This strategy enables conditional activation of antibodies
