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 role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling in chronic pain has been well documented. Given the important central role of BDNF in long term plasticity and memory, we sought to engineer a high affinity, peripherally-restricted monoclonal antibody against BDNF to modulate pain. BDNF shares 100% sequence homology across human and rodents; thus, we selected chickens as an alternative immune host for initial antibody generation. Here, we describe the affinity optimization of complementarity-determining region-grafted, chicken-derived R3bH01, an anti-BDNF antibody specifically blocking the TrkB receptor interaction. Antibody optimization led to the identification of B30, which has a > 300-fold improvement in affinity based on BIAcore, an 800-fold improvement in potency in a cell-based pERK assay and demonstrates exquisite selectivity over related neurotrophins. Affinity improvements measured
