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

We have applied in vivo intracellular antibody capture (IAC) technology to isolate human intrabodies which bind to the oncogenic RAS protein. IAC facilitates the capture of antibody fragments, in this case single-chain Fvs (scFvs), which tolerate reducing environments, such as the cytoplasm of cancer cells. Three anti-RAS scFvs with different affinity, solubility and intracellular binding activity were characterized. The anti-RAS scFvs with highest affinity were expressed relatively poorly in mammalian cells, and greater soluble expression was achieved by mutating the antibody framework to canonical consensus scaffolds, previously derived from IAC, without losing antigen specificity. Mutagenesis experiments showed that the consensus scaffolds are functional as intrabody fragments without an intra-domain disulfide bond. Furthermore, we could convert an intrabody which does not bind RAS in mammalian cells into a high-affinity reagent capable of inhibiting RAS-mediated NIH 3T3 transformation by exchanging VH and VL complementarity-determining regions onto its consensus scaffold. These data show that the consensus scaffold is a robust framework by which to improve intrabody function.
