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

Understanding protein phase behavior is important for purification, storage, and stable formulation of protein drugs in the biopharmaceutical industry. Glycoproteins, such as monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are the most abundant biopharmaceuticals and probably the most difficult to crystallize among water-soluble proteins. This study explores the possibility of correlating osmotic second virial coefficient (B(22)) with the phase behavior of an intact MAb, which has so far proved impossible to crystallize. The phase diagram of the MAb is presented as a function of the concentration of different classes of precipitants, i.e., NaCl, (NH4)2SO4, and polyethylene glycol. All these precipitants show a similar behavior of decreasing solubility with increasing precipitant concentration. B(22) values were also measured as a function of the concentration of the different precipitants by self-interaction chromatography and correlated with the phase diagrams. Correlating phase diagrams with B(22) data provides useful information not only for a fundamental understanding of the phase behavior of MAbs, but also for understanding the reason why certain proteins are extremely difficult to crystallize. The scaling of the phase diagram in B(22) units also supports the existence of a universal phase diagram of a complex glycoprotein when it is recast in a protein interaction parameter.
