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

Anti-HBV monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been successfully applied in clinic for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases caused by Hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, the mammalian cell culture technique used to produce mAbs provides low yield. Production capacity may be increased by manipulating the mammary gland of transgenic animals to produce mAbs which may be secreted in the milk and readily purified. In this study, we established a transgenic mouse model expressing anti-HBV mAbs and assessed the quantity and quality of such in milk secretions. Eight transgenic founders were generated by co-microinjection of two gene cassettes encoding the heavy- and light-chain of a neutralizing anti-HBV antibody. Both the heavy- and light-chain transgenes produced sufficient transcript expression in the transgenic mice. The expressed anti-HBV mAb was correctly assembled and modified in the mammary gland, as detected by western blotting. ELISA was used to determine the expression level of anti-HBV mAb, which reached up to 17.8 mg/mL, and the affinity of anti-HBV mAb for HBV surface antigen HBsAg, which reached up to 1,577 IU/mg. Therefore, our work confirms the concept of using transgenic animals for large-scale production of therapeutic anti-HBV mAb.
