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.

Abstract

Interleukin (IL)-17A is a key driver of inflammation and the principal target of anti-IL-17 therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. IL-17A, and its structurally similar family member IL-17F, have been shown to be functionally dysregulated in certain human immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and axial spondyloarthritis. Given the overlapping biology of these two cytokines, we postulated that dual neutralization of IL-17A and IL-17F may provide a greater depth of clinical response in IL-17-mediated diseases than IL-17A inhibition alone. We identified 496.g1, a humanized antibody with strong affinity for IL-17A but poor affinity for IL-17F. Affinity maturation of 496.g1 to 496.g3 greatly enhanced the affinity of the Fab fragment for IL-17F while retaining strong binding to IL-17A. As an IgG1, the affinity for IL-17A and IL-17F was 3.2 pM and 23 pM, respectively. Comparison of 496.g3 IgG1 with the commercially available anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibodies ixekizumab and secukinumab, by surface plasmon resonance and in a human
