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 emergence of complex protein therapeutics in general and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in particular have stimulated analytical chemists to develop new methods and strategies for their structural characterization. Mass spectrometry plays a key role in providing information on the primary amino acid sequence, post-translational modifications, and other structure characteristics that must be monitored during the manufacturing process and subsequent quality control assessment. In this study, we present a novel method that allows structural characterization of mAbs based on MALDI in-source decay (ISD) fragmentation, coupled with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) MS. The method benefits from higher resolution of absorption mode FT mass spectra, compared to magnitude mode, which enables simultaneous identification of ISD fragments from both the heavy and light chains with a higher confidence in a wide mass range up to m/ z 13 500. This method was applied to two standard mAbs, namely NIST mAb and trastuzumab, in preparation for method application in an interlaboratory study on mAbs structural analysis coordinated by the Consortium for Top-Down Proteomics. Extensive sequence coverage was obtained from the middle-down analysis (IdeS- and GingisKHAN-digested mAbs) that complemented the top-down analysis of intact mAbs. In addition, MALDI FT-ICR MS of IdeS-digested mAbs allowed isotopic-level profiling of proteoforms with regard to heavy chain N-glycosylation.
