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

Adalimumab and Infliximab are recombinant IgG1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that bind and neutralize human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). TNFα forms a stable homotrimer with unique surface-exposed sites for Adalimumab, Infliximab, and TNF receptor binding. Here, we report the structures of Adalimumab-TNFα and Infliximab-TNFα complexes modeled from negative stain EM and cryo-EM images. EM images reveal complex structures consisting of 1:1, 1:2, 2:2, and 3:2 complexes of Adalimumab-TNFα and Infliximab-TNFα. The 2:2 complex structures of Adalimumab-TNFα and Infliximab-TNFα show diamond-shaped profiles and the 2D class averages reveal distinct orientations of the Fab domains, indicating different binding modes by Adalimumab and Infliximab to TNFα. After separation by size exclusion chromatography and analysis by negative stain EM, the 3:2 complexes of Adalimumab-TNFα or Infliximab-TNFα complexes are more complicated but retain features recognized in the 2:2 complexes. Preliminary cryo-EM analysis of 3:2 Adalimumab-TNFα complex generated a low-resolution density consistent with a TNFα trimer bound with three Fab domains from three individual antibody molecules, while each antibody molecule binds to two molecules of TNFα trimer. The Fc domains are not visible in the reconstruction. These results show the two mAbs form structurally distinct complexes with TNFα.
