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

There is a strong need for nanobodies that target novel cancer-associated antigens to advance radioligand imaging and antibody-based therapeutics. In this study, we investigated whether non-targeted llama immunization using tumor cells, combined with non-targeted phage-display panning of human cell lines, could yield nanobodies specific to Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA). Nanobody selection using both classical three-round PSMA negative-positive panning and single-round panning of cell lines (positive or negative) for PSMA showed clear enrichment for PSMA binders in both strategies. Using shRNA knockdown, flow cytometry, cell-ELISA, immunohistochemistry and structural modeling and docking, we confirmed the PSMA-targeting of selected nanobodies. Two distinct epitopes were predicted to be bound by nanobodies PSMANb9 and A7 (JVZ-007), and this was corroborated by epitope competition assays. These findings support the feasibility of non-targeted immunization and panning strategies for isolating antigen-targeting cancer nanobodies.
