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 rise of antibodies as a promising and rapidly growing class of biotherapeutic proteins has motivated numerous studies to characterize and understand antibody structures. In the past decades, the number of antibody crystal structures increased substantially, which revolutionized the atomistic understanding of antibody functions. Even though numerous static structures are known, various biophysical properties of antibodies (i.e., specificity, hydrophobicity and stability) are governed by their dynamic character. Additionally, the importance of high-quality structures in structure-function relationship studies has substantially increased. These structure-function relationship studies have also created a demand for precise homology models of antibody structures, which allow rational antibody design and engineering when no crystal structure is available. Here, we discuss various aspects and challenges in antibody design and extend the paradigm of describing antibodies with only a single static structure to characterizing them as dynamic ensembles in solution.
