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: Tumor heterogeneity has been identified as a major roadblock for cancer immunotherapy. To overcome this, universal effector cell engagers with interchangeable tumor-targeting adaptors have been developed. Current concepts in this field consist of antibody-based adaptors. Small-molecule (SM) ligands, on the other hand, infiltrate tissues rapidly, have short half-lives, and are potentially orally available. Therefore, we hypothesized that utilizing SM adaptors, combined with effector antibodies, could represent an attractive off-the-shelf therapy. Methods: Here, we introduce the development of target-agnostic, small-molecule-guided hapten- and T cell-bispecific (TCB) antibodies with high affinity between the adaptor-effector pair. Specifically, we designed SM adaptors based on known tumor-targeting ligands with specificity to the antigens folate receptor 1 (FOLR1), prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), and conjugated them to Ca Results: Conclusions: The studies described here demonstrate proof-of-concept for using hapten-containing small molecules as adaptors for effective universal T cell engager-based cancer immunotherapy.
