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

While the clinical utility of conventional antibody therapies is undeniable, their therapeutic potential is often constrained high antigen loads and the recycling of antibody-antigen complexes via neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). Here, we present a platform, based on a design similar to bispecific antibodies, FcγRIIb-Targeting Chimeras (FcRTAC). These constructs recognise antigens with one arm and bind FcγRIIb with the other arm to harness the unique endocytic properties of FcγRIIb to direct the recognized pathogenic antigens to lysosomes for irreversible degradation. The FcRTAC platform demonstrates broad therapeutic potential across multiple disease-relevant targets, including IgE, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and amyloid-β (Aβ). Notably, a single intravenous administration of blood brain barrier (BBB)-penetrating adeno-associated viral vector (AAV) encoding an Aβ-targeting FcRTAC construct achieves sustained therapeutic effects, establishing proof-of-concept for AAV-mediated delivery of an Aβ degrader as a strategy for Alzheimer's disease treatment. Our comprehensive investigation of binding properties of FcRTACs reveals critical molecular determinants of function and enables development of optimized engineering approaches. In summary, our approach represents a versatile therapeutic platform for treating diverse diseases ranging from autoimmune disorders to neurodegenerative conditions, while simultaneously serving as a user-friendly, plug-and-play research tool for extracellular protein knockout in basic biological research.
