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

Peptide mapping with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is an important analytical method for characterization of post-translational and chemical modifications in therapeutic proteins. Despite its importance, there is currently no consensus on the statistical analysis of the resulting data. In this manuscript, we distinguish three statistical goals for therapeutic protein characterization: (1) estimation of site occupancy of modifications in one condition, (2) detection of differential site occupancy between conditions, and (3) estimation of combined site occupancy across multiple modification sites. We propose an approach, which addresses these goals in terms of summarizing the quantitative information from the mass spectra, statistical modeling, and model-based analysis of LC-MS/MS data. We illustrate the approach using an LC-MS/MS experiment from an antibody-drug conjugate and its monoclonal antibody intermediate. The performance was compared to a 'naïve' data analysis approach, by using computer simulation, evaluation of differential site occupancy in positive and negative controls, and comparisons of estimated site occupancy with orthogonal experimental measurements of N-linked glycoforms and total oxidation. The results demonstrated the importance of replicated studies of protein characterization, and of appropriate statistical modeling, for reproducible, accurate and efficient site occupancy estimation and differential analysis.
