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

Leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG1) has received much attention as a prognostic indicator in cancer therapy where high serum levels generally predict a poor outcome. Recently, it has been shown to play an active role in cancer progression and is being pursued as a novel target in cancer therapy. LRG1 acts in neovascularization of tumors resulting in weakened blood vessels and ineffective delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs. A monoclonal antibody (mAb) against LRG1 has shown efficacy in blocking this function of LRG1, normalizing the vasculature, and improving drug delivery in mice. Extracellular LRG1 is also anti-apoptotic and promotes cell proliferation and metastasis, all through epidermal growth factor receptor family signaling. In mice, anti-LRG1 antibody therapy has been shown to inhibit these effects of extracellular LRG1 and to enhance the anti-cancer effect of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy in mice. Pre-clinical testing of the humanized version of the LRG1 mAb is underway in the United Kingdom. Intracellular LRG1 has been reported to inhibit apoptosis by blocking the binding of Cyt
