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

backgroundCCR4

methodsWe designed and expressed four candidate anti-HER2×CCR4 DVD-Ig bispecific antibodies with varying degrees of anti-CCR4 domain masking, while leaving anti-HER2 domains fully exposed, to preferentially deplete tumor-associated Tregs, including TIL-Tregs and tumor-chemotactic peripheral Tregs. Stability and antitumor activity were assessed in vitro. In human immune system-reconstituted NOG mice, we systematically: (1) conducted a comprehensive dose-response evaluation of the XL-11 to characterize pharmacological efficacy and potential systemic toxicity, (2) assessed the immune memory, (3) studied the synergy of XL-11 with programmed cell death protein-1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) blocker, and (4) analyzed pharmacokinetic profile (PK).

resultsThe lower affinity for CCR4 compared with HER2 enables anti-HER2×CCR4 DVD-Igs to priority target TIL-Tregs, and reduce binding to peripheral Tregs compared with mogamulizumab. Anti-HER2×CCR4 DVD-Igs inhibit Treg chemotaxis to TME, and killing Tregs and HER2

conclusionsXL-11 mediates potent antitumor immunity in advanced HER2
