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

Background: The αvβ6 and αvβ8 integrins are upregulated in many solid-tumors and drive local activation of transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ), promoting immune evasion and resistance to immune checkpoint blockade. The chromogranin A-derived peptide Methods: Peptide Results: Conclusion: These peptibodies represent a dual-selective αvβ6/αvβ8-targeting platform that couples potent blockade of integrin-dependent TGFβ activation with efficient, selective delivery of cytotoxic payloads to cancer cells. These properties, together with the observed synergism with anti-PD-L1 mAbs, suggest their potential use as ligands for delivering cytotoxic agents to tumors, while concomitantly modulating the TGFβ-driven immunosuppressive microenvironment, either alone or in combination with ICIs.
