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

In 2025, the 50th anniversary of the invention of hybridoma technology, the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) approved a total of 44 new molecular entities (NMEs), of which 10 were therapeutic antibody-based molecules. Additionally, the US FDA approved 31 small molecules (of which one was a peptide), and 3 new nonantibody therapeutic proteins, but no new chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapeutics. Of the new antibody-based biologics, two were antibody-drug conjugates, one was a T-cell engager-bispecific antibody, two were Fc-modified, half-life extended antibodies, and two targeted the complex coagulation pathway. The eighth novel anti-PD-1 antibody was also approved, along with the newest entry of biologics targeting the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). Additionally, two new entries in which hyaluronidase was coformulated with an antibody to provide rapid subcutaneous dosing were FDA-approved. Finally, the first antibody-like scaffold-fusion protein was approved that will compete in an antibody-rich environment.
