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.

Abstract

Introduction: B001 is a recombinant humanized anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody targeting CD20+ B cells, that has demonstrated superior B cell depletion and anti-proliferative and cytotoxic effects compared to rituximab in a pre-clinical study. The present phase 1b trial assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of B001 in aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Methods: This phase 1b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial screened 25 NMOSD patients (April 2022-June 2024). Twenty-two patients received intravenous B001 (350, 700 or 1,000 mg) or placebo via a 3 + 3 dose escalation design, randomized 3:1 to active drug or placebo on days 1 and 15. The primary endpoints were the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and to recommend the dosage for the phase 2 trial. Results: Among 22 randomized patients (350 mg: Conclusion: B001 demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability, with 700 mg selected as the recommended phase 2 dose. Clinical Trial Registration: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05145361, identifier NCT05145361.
