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 high specificity between antigen and antibody binding, similar epitopes can be recognized or cross-neutralized by paratopes of antibody with different binding affinities. How to accurately characterize this slight variation which may or may not change the antigen-antibody binding affinity is a key issue in this area. In this report, by combining cylinder model with shell structure model, a new fingerprint was introduced to describe both the structural and physical-chemical features of the antigen and antibody protein. Furthermore, beside the description of individual protein, the specific epitope-paratope interaction fingerprint (EPIF) was developed to reflect the bond and the environment of the antigen-antibody interface. Finally, Proteochemometric Modeling of the antigen-antibody interaction was established and evaluated on 429 antigen-antibody complexes. By using only protein descriptors, our model achieved the best performance (R2 = 0.91, Qtest(2) = 0.68) among peers. Further, together with EPIF as a new cross-term, our model (R2 = 0.92, Qtest(2) = 0.74) can significantly outperform peers with multiplication of ligand and protein descriptors as a cross-term (R2 ≤ 0.81, Qtest(2) ≤ 0.44). Results illustrated that: 1) our newly designed protein fingerprints and EPIF can better describe the antigen-antibody interaction; 2) EPIF is a better and specific cross-term in Proteochemometric Modeling for antigen-antibody interaction. The fingerprints designed in this study will provide assistance to the description of antigen-antibody binding, and in future, it may be valuable help for the high-throughput antibody screening. The algorithm is freely available on request.
