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

Protein therapeutics typically require a concentrated protein formulation, which can lead to self-association and/or high viscosity due to protein-protein interaction (PPI). Excipients are often added to improve stability, bioavailability, and manufacturability of the protein therapeutics, but the selection of excipients often relies on trial and error. Therefore, understanding the excipient-protein interaction and its effect on non-specific PPI is important for rational selection of formulation development. In this study, we validate a general workflow based on the site identification by ligand competitive saturation (SILCS) technology, termed SILCS-Biologics, that can be applied to protein therapeutics for rational excipient selection. The National Institute of Standards and Technology monoclonal antibody (NISTmAb) reference along with the CNTO607 mAb is used as model antibody proteins to examine PPIs, and NISTmAb was used to further examine excipient-protein interactions, in silico. Metrics from SILCS include the distribution and predicted affinity of excipients, buffer interactions with the NISTmAb Fab, and the relation of the interactions to predicted PPI. Comparison with a range of experimental data showed multiple SILCS metrics to be predictive. Specifically, the number of favorable sites to which an excipient binds and the number of sites to which an excipient binds that are involved in predicted PPIs correlate with the experimentally determined viscosity. In addition, a combination of the number of binding sites and the predicted binding affinity is indicated to be predictive of relative protein stability. Comparison of arginine, trehalose, and sucrose, all of which give the highest viscosity in combination with analysis of
