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

Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is an oncofetal tight junction protein with minimal to no expression in healthy adult tissues but aberrant upregulation in ovarian malignancies, making it an attractive tumor-selective antigen for T cell-based immunotherapy. The development of CLDN6-targeting antibodies, however, has been challenged by its high homology to CLDN9, which is expressed in normal tissues and differs by only three amino acids within the extracellular domains. Here, we describe the discovery and preclinical development of ARC101, a bispecific CLDN6×CD3 antibody featuring a naturally derived, highly potent CLDN6 binder with no cross-reactivity to CLDN9 or other human membrane proteins. The stringent specificity of ARC101 eliminates off-target binding and distinguishes it from other CLDN6-targeting antibodies in development. The effector arm of ARC101 incorporates a novel conformational CD3 binder, enabling potent T cell-mediated cytotoxicity against CLDN6-expressing tumor cells
