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

Systemic pharmacokinetics and target expression do not show whether tumor cells have received enough antibody to produce the intended effect. Tumor-targeting antibodies must reach individual lesions, cross tumor tissue, bind accessible targets, and, for some platforms, align with intracellular or neighboring-cell processes required for action. This critical narrative review organizes evidence by where exposure and effect become discordant. We define four spatial PK-PD mismatches (1): systemic exposure without adequate lesion access (2); lesion uptake without adequate microscopic distribution; (3) target expression without sufficient
