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

ERα36, a membrane-associated splice variant of estrogen receptor α, mediates rapid non-genomic estrogen signaling and is frequently overexpressed in aggressive and therapy-resistant breast cancers. Although ERα36 represents a promising therapeutic target, its clinical exploitation remains limited due to the lack of high-affinity and highly specific targeting ligands capable of recognizing its extracellular domain. In this paper, we constructed a shark-derived variable new antigen receptor (VNAR) phage display immune library and isolated two high-affinity VNAR single-domain antibodies (FR6 and TH4) targeting distinct epitopes on ERα36. The TH4 VNAR was further engineered by fusion with a truncated Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin (PE24) to generate a recombinant immunotoxin (TH4-PE24), characterized by (1) high specificity and affinity for ERα36 (K
