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

Affinity measurement is a fundamental step in the discovery of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and of antigens suitable for vaccine development. Innovative affinity assays are needed due to the low throughput and/or limited dynamic range of available technologies. We combined microfluidic technology with quantum-mechanical scattering theory, in order to develop a high-throughput, broad-range methodology to measure affinity. Fluorescence intensity profiles were generated for out-of-equilibrium solutions of labelled mAbs and their antigen-binding fragments migrating along micro-columns with immobilized cognate antigen. Affinity quantification was performed by computational data analysis based on the Landau probability distribution. Experiments using a wide array of human or murine antibodies against bacterial or viral, protein or polysaccharide antigens, showed that all the antibody-antigen capture profiles (n = 841) generated at different concentrations were accurately described by the Landau distribution.
