Engineering a cell-penetrating hyperstable antibody scFv(Ras) - An extraordinary approach to cancer therapeutics.
Article in Synthetic and systems biotechnology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
In the modern pharmaceutical industry, monoclonal antibodies are often used as therapeutic agents. However, they are restricted to cell surface antigens due to their inability to penetrate the outer cell membrane and maintain normal function in the reducing environment. Additionally, it can lead to cytotoxicity since it attacks cancerous cells by mimicking the human immune system. As an alternative, this study modifies the hyperstable single-chain fragment variable(scFv) antibody to eliminate cancer using its linear shape. The scFv(F8) antibody model was modified to recognize human Ras protein by altering residues in the antigen-binding site. Furthermore, a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) was attached to the scFv(Ras) antibody model to allow entrance to the cell, creating CPP-scFv(Ras). Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE), western blotting, and the binding assay were performed to prove its effectiveness. As a result, CPP-scFv(Ras) was successfully engineered and bound to the antigen, HRas(G12V).
