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

Background: The combination of disitamab vedotin (DV), a novel human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeting antibody-drug conjugate, with immunotherapy represents a promising strategy for locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. However, comprehensive evidence regarding its efficacy and safety is lacking. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize available data on this combination regimen. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for studies published up to December 31, 2025. The primary outcomes were objective response rate (ORR) and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Secondary outcomes included disease control rate (DCR) and median progression-free survival (mPFS). Pooled analyses were performed using a random-effects model. Results: 21 studies involving 1183 patients were included. The pooled ORR was 53% (95% CI: 46%-60%), and the DCR was 82% (95% CI: 77%-86%). The pooled mPFS was 7.8 months (95% CI: 6.6-8.9). Subgroup analyses indicated superior efficacy in urothelial carcinoma, HER2-positive tumors, and first-line treatment settings. Any-grade and grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 91.1% and 36.8% of patients, respectively, with a toxicity profile dominated by DV-related adverse events such as fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, and hematological toxicities. Conclusion: The combination of DV and immunotherapy demonstrates encouraging antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors, particularly in HER2-expressing populations and when used in the first-line setting. These findings support further investigation of this combination in randomized controlled trials. Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD420251154446.
