Review in Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 218 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The technique of attaching the polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG), or PEGylation, has brought more than ten protein drugs into market. The surface conjugation of PEG on proteins prolongs their blood circulation time and reduces immunogenicity by increasing their hydrodynamic size and masking surface epitopes. Despite this success, an emerging body of literature highlights the presence of antibodies produced by the immune system that specifically recognize and bind to PEG (anti-PEG Abs), including both pre-existing and treatment-induced Abs. More importantly, the existence of anti-PEG Abs has been correlated with loss of therapeutic efficacy and increase in adverse effects in several clinical reports examining different PEGylated therapeutics. To better understand the nature of anti-PEG immunity, we summarize a number of clinical reports and some critical animal studies regarding pre-existing and treatment-induced anti-PEG Abs. Various anti-PEG detection methods used in different studies were provided. Several protein modification technologies beyond PEGylation were also highlighted.
