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

Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have shown potential in cancer treatment and have become a rapidly growing field in cancer immunotherapy. Unlike monoclonal antibodies with two identical binding sites, BsAbs simultaneously bind two distinct epitopes on the same or different antigens, allowing for a range of mechanisms of action, including engaging immune cells to kill cancer cells and blocking signaling pathways. Despite regulatory approvals for hematological malignancies in the last decade, their clinical success in solid malignancies has been lacking until recently. There are currently five BsAbs approved by the FDA in the United States for solid tumors-amivantamab, tarlatamab, tebentafusp, zanidatamab and zenocutuzumab-and two BsAbs approved in China-cadonilimab and ivonescimab. Currently, several BsAbs are under clinical development for solid tumors, but are mostly in early phase I and II trials. This review provides an overview of the basic mechanism of action of BsAbs, current FDA-approved BsAbs, and current BsAbs under clinical development, their challenges in clinical use, the management of toxicities, and future directions.
