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

backgroundThe neuronal pentraxin receptor (NPTXR) is mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of a subset of neuronal cells in the cerebral cortex. While NPTXR may be involved in mediating uptake of synaptic material during synapse remodeling or synaptic clustering of AMPA glutamate receptors at a subset of excitatory synapses during embryonic development, NPTXR expression has recently been shown to be elevated in tissues from patients with gastric cancer.

methodsNPTXR protein expression was evaluated in human cancer and healthy tissue samples. We then generated antibody-drug conjugates based on YB-800 (YB-800

resultsNPTXR protein was highly and consistently expressed in human tissue samples from multiple cancer types but only minimally expressed, if at all, in healthy tissues. Treatment with YB-800

conclusionsNPTXR is an oncofetal protein that is highly expressed in multiple human cancers but minimally expressed in healthy tissues. We have established NPTXR as a new tumor marker and have developed antibody-drug conjugates using YB-800, a novel, first-in-class, humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the human NPTXR. Initial results demonstrate that YB-800
