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

Finding excipients which mitigate protein self-association and aggregation is an important task during formulation. Here, the effect of an equimolar mixture of l-Arg and l-Glu (Arg·Glu) on colloidal and conformational stability of four monoclonal antibodies (mAb1-mAb4) at different pH is explored, with the temperatures of the on-set of aggregation (Tagg) and unfolding (Tm1) measured by static light scattering and intrinsic fluorescence, respectively. Arg·Glu increased the Tagg of all four mAbs in concentration-dependent manner, especially as pH increased to neutral. Arg·Glu also increased Tm1 of the least thermally stable mAb3, but without similar direct effect on the Tm1 of other mAbs. Raising pH itself from 5 to 7 increased Tm1 for all four mAbs. Selected mAb formulations were assessed under accelerated stability conditions for the monomer fraction remaining in solution after storage. The aggregation of mAb3 was suppressed to a greater extent by Arg·Glu than by Arg·HCl. Furthermore, Arg·Glu suppressed the aggregation of mAb1 at neutral pH such that the fraction monomer was near to that at the more typical formulation pH of 5.5. We conclude that Arg·Glu can suppress mAb aggregation with increasing temperature/pH and, importantly, under accelerated stability conditions at weakly acidic to neutral pH.
