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 classical `knob-into-holes' (KIH) strategy (knob(T366Y)/hole (Y407T)) has successfully enhanced the heterodimerization of a bispecific antibody (BsAb) resulting in heterodimer formation up to 92% of protein A (ProA)-purified protein pool. However, it does not show high efficiency for every BsAb. KIH was initially applied to a CD20/CD3 BsAb. After in silico modeling, two additional new mutations, S354Y in knob-heavy chain (HC) and Q347E in hole-HC, together with KIH named `ETYY', were introduced in the Fc. The CD20/CD3 BsAb hybrid only represented ~ 50% of the ProA-purified protein pool when KIH was applied. With ETYY, the percentage of CD20/CD3 hybrid increased to 93.8%. CD20/CD3-v4b (containing ETYY) retains the original activity of the BsAb at both Fab and Fc regions, and also shows good developability. These results indicate that the computer-aided novel ETYY design has the potential to improve the development of next-generation BsAbs with higher yields and simpler purification.
