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

Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor (ROR2) has been identified as a highly relevant tumor-associated antigen in a variety of cancer indications of high unmet medical need, including melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, osteosarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, colorectal cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and non-small cell lung cancer. Overexpression of ROR2 often correlates with advanced disease or poor prognosis, making it an attractive target for cancer therapy. We developed a novel, conditionally active biologic (CAB) antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), ozuriftamab vedotin (BA3021), which binds to ROR2 only in the acidic tumor microenvironment. In healthy tissue, binding to ROR2 is greatly reduced by a novel selection mechanism using physiological chemicals as protein-associated chemical switches (PaCS). The CAB anti-ROR2 ADC displays the anticipated binding properties and mediates potent lysis of ROR2-positive cancer cell lines.
