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 antibody drug field has continually sought improvements to methods for candidate discovery and engineering. Historically, most such methods have been laboratory-based, but informatics methods have recently started to make an impact. Deep learning, a subfield of machine learning, is rapidly gaining prominence in the biomedical research. Recent advances in microfluidics technologies and next-generation sequencing have not only revolutionized therapeutic antibody discovery, but also contributed to a vast amount of antibody repertoire sequencing data, providing opportunities for deep learning-based applications. Previously, we used microfluidics, yeast display, and deep sequencing to generate a panel of binder and non-binder antibody sequences to the cancer immunotherapy targets PD-1 and CTLA-4. Here we encoded the antibody light and heavy chain complementarity-determining regions (CDR3s) into antibody images, then built and trained convolutional neural network models to classify binders and non-binders. To improve model interpretability, we performed
