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

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic option, combining the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potency of cytotoxic payloads. While initially developed for hematologic and select solid malignancies, advances in antigen discovery, linker chemistry, and payload design have expanded their application to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, where treatment options remain limited. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), STEAP-1, TROP-2, CD46, Nectin-4, tissue factor, B7-H3, and DLL3 have emerged as clinically relevant targets, with multiple ADCs evaluated in early and late-phase trials. Although early-generation drugs were hindered by modest efficacy and significant toxicity due to linker instability and off-target effects, some novel ADCs have shown improved tolerability and encouraging antitumor activity. Ongoing studies are exploring rational combinations with hormonal, other targeted, and immune-based therapies to enhance efficacy, overcome resistance, and expand the role of ADCs in advanced prostate cancer. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical development of ADCs in advanced prostate cancer.
