Model predictive control for steady-state performance in integrated continuous bioprocesses.
Article in Bioprocess and biosystems engineering, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Perfusion bioreactors are commonly used for the continuous production of monoclonal antibodies (mAb). One potential benefit of continuous bioprocessing is the ability to operate under steady-state conditions for an extended process time. However, the process performance is often limited by the feedback control of feed, harvest, and bleed flow rates. If the future behavior of a bioprocess can be adequately described, predictive control can reduce set point deviations and thereby maximize process stability. In this study, we investigated the predictive control of biomass in a perfusion bioreactor integrated to a non-chromatographic capture step, in a series of Monte-Carlo simulations. A simple algorithm was developed to estimate the current and predict the future viable cell concentrations (VCC) of the bioprocess. This feature enabled the single prediction controller (SPC) to compensate for process variations that would normally be transported to adjacent units in integrated continuous bioprocesses (ICB). Use of this SPC strategy significantly reduced biomass, product concentration, and harvest flow variability and stabilized the operation over long periods of time compared to simulations using feedback control strategies. Additionally, we demonstrated the possibility of maximizing product yields simply by adjusting perfusion control strategies. This method could be used to prevent savings in total product losses of 4.5-10% over 30 days of protein production.
