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

Immune complexes formed between monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and toxins can neutralize toxicity in vivo by multiple mechanisms. Toxin sequestration and clearance by mAbs may be improved by enhancing their ability to bind to red blood cells (RBCs) through immune adherence. This can be achieved by converting the mAbs to heteropolymers (HPs), which are antigen-specific mAbs cross-linked to mAbs targeting the complement receptor (CR1), a protein that is expressed on the surface of RBCs in primates and mediates delivery of complement C3b-containing immune complexes to tissue macrophages. Conversion of mAbs to HPs has been shown to enhance clearance of multivalent antigens from the blood circulation, but the interaction of HPs with monovalent toxins has not been examined. Using botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) as a model system, we studied the effect of conversion of a pair of BoNT-specific mAbs into HPs on toxin neutralization and handling in vivo. Two HPs given in combination had 166-fold greater potency than un-modified mAbs, neutralizing 5000 LD50 BoNT, when tested in transgenic mice expressing human CR1 on RBC membranes. Improvement required adherence of BoNT to the RBC in vivo and 2 HPs, rather than an HP+mAb pair. The HP pair bound BoNT to RBCs in the circulation for 2h, in comparison to BoNT-neutralizing anti-serum, which induced no detectable RBC binding. HP pairs exhibited enhanced uptake by peritoneal macrophages in vitro, compared to pairs of mAbs or mAb+HP pairs. In a post-exposure therapeutic model, HPs gave complete protection from a lethal BoNT dose up to 3h after toxin exposure. In a pre-exposure prophylaxis model, mice given HP up to 5 days prior to BoNT administration were fully protected from a lethal BoNT dose. These studies elucidate general mechanisms for the neutralization of toxins by HP pairs and demonstrate the potential utility of HPs as BoNT therapeutics.
