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

Recombinant human IFNα2b (rhIFNα2b), as an important immune-related protein, has been widely used in clinic for decades. It is also at the forefront of the recent emergence of biosimilar medicines, with numerous products now available worldwide. Although with the same amino acid sequence, recombinant proteins are generally heterogeneous due to post-translational modification and chemical reactions during expression, purification, and long-term storage, which could have significant impact on the final product quality. So therapeutic rhIFNα2b must be closely monitored to ensure consistency, safety, and efficacy. In this study, we compared seven rhIFNα2b preparations from six manufacturers in China and one in America, as well as four batches of rhIFNα2b preparations from the same manufacturer, measuring IFNα2b variants and site-specific modifications using a developed LC/Q-TOF approach. Three main forms of N-terminus, cysteine, methionine, and acetylated cysteine were detected in five rhIFNα2b preparations produced in
