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 1 (ROR1) is selectively expressed on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B cells and certain cancers, but is absent from normal B cells and healthy adult tissues. GE-zilovertamab, an afucosylated anti-ROR1 IgG1 antibody, is engineered to increase FcγRIIIA binding and thereby enhance antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Co-culture assays were performed using CLL cell lines (MEC1, MEC1-ROR1) and primary CLL cells with Jurkat-Lucia™ NFAT-CD16, NK, or peripheral blood mononuclear cell effectors. Treatments included the anti-CD20 mAb rituximab, anti-ROR1 mAbs (GE-zilovertamab, zilovertamab), and the endocytosis inhibitor prochlorperazine, and ADCC was quantified. GE-zilovertamab showed significantly higher ADCC than its parental antibody and activity that was comparable to that of rituximab. We find that the endocytosis inhibitor prochlorperazine further increased this effect. GE-zilovertamab is a promising next-generation immunotherapeutic for CLL, combining selective targeting of ROR1 with the potential to reduce therapy-induced immunodeficiency compared with anti-CD20 antibodies.
