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

Photooxidation of methionine (Met) and tryptophan (Trp) residues is common and includes major degradation pathways that often pose a serious threat to the success of therapeutic proteins. Oxidation impacts all steps of protein production, manufacturing, and shelf life. Prediction of oxidation liability as early as possible in development is important because many more candidate drugs are discovered than can be tested experimentally. Undetected oxidation liabilities necessitate expensive and time-consuming remediation strategies in development and may lead to good drugs reaching patients slowly. Conversely, sites mischaracterized as oxidation liabilities could result in overengineering and lead to good drugs never reaching patients. To our knowledge, no predictive model for photooxidation of Met or Trp is currently available. We applied the random forest machine learning algorithm to in-house liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) datasets (Met, n = 421; Trp, n = 342) of tryptic therapeutic protein peptides to create computational models for Met and Trp photooxidation. We show that our machine learning models predict Met and Trp photooxidation likelihood with 0.926 and 0.860 area under the curve (AUC), respectively, and Met photooxidation rate with a correlation coefficient (Q
