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: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major cause of cancer mortality worldwide, particularly in metastatic stages. N-formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2), a class A G protein-coupled receptor activated by the Methods: We generated fully human antagonistic antibodies targeting FPR2 using a two-step discovery strategy. A CDR-H3-focused synthetic single-chain variable fragment library was screened against an extracellular loop 3 (ECL3) peptide, followed by light-chain engineering to confer dual engagement of extracellular loop 2 (ECL2). Results: The engineered antibody exhibited dose-dependent binding to both ECL2 and ECL3 peptides, selectively recognized FPR2 over other FPR family members, and showed nanomolar binding to FPR2-expressing cancer cells. The antibody inhibited Hp(2-20)-induced calcium mobilization and suppressed migration and invasion of Adenocarcinoma Gastric (AGS) gastric cancer cells. Structural modeling indicated a lid-like binding mode occluding the orthosteric pocket. Conclusions: We developed a fully human antagonistic antibody that selectively binds and inhibits FPR2 through dual extracellular-loop engagement. The antibody potentially suppresses FPR2-driven signaling and invasive behaviors in gastric cancer cells, supporting its development for therapeutic application. Further assessment of its efficacy
