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

Despite the fact, that monoclonal antibodies are the fastest growing group of biopharmaceuticals in development, this is not true for the IgM class, which remains as enigmatic as ever. While more examples of usefulness of IgMs for medical applications are emerging, their recombinant production is still not common. In our study, stable monoclonal IgM producing CHO DG44 and HEK 293 cell lines, expressing two model IgM molecules (IgM-617 and IgM-012) were established. Recombinant cell lines were compared in regard of specific productivity, specific growth rate, maximal achieved antibody titer, gene copy numbers and transcription levels of transgene. IgM-617 cell lines were identified as high while IgM-012 clones were low producers. Although differences in gene copy numbers as well as in transcription levels were observed, they did not seem to be a limitation. Levels of relevant endoplasmic reticulum-stress related proteins were analyzed and no indications of unfolded protein response were detected. This could indicate that the difference in the intrinsic protein stability of our model proteins (as was previously observed on purified samples) might cause lower yields of IgM-012. Transcriptomics and/or proteomics follow up studies might be necessary for identification of potential bottlenecks in IgM producing cell lines.
