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

An antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), consisting of an antibody, a chemical linker, and a payload, can selectively deliver a highly cytotoxic payload to cancer cells and minimize the systemic toxicity of the payload by harnessing the selectivity of the antibody. However, many ADCs have unacceptable toxic effects due to the expression characteristics of target antigens, structural characteristics of antibodies, linker stability and payload properties, which have slowed their development progress. In this review, we describe the effects of the structure of each component of an ADC molecule on its toxicity, explore and discuss the toxicity profiles of various ADCs in the main body tissues/organs by using nonclinical and clinical data obtained from marketed ADCs, aiming to provide a reference for the development of novel ADC molecules and to facilitate related nonclinical and clinical studies.
