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

Developing therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for the subcutaneous administration requires identifying mAbs with superior solubility that are amenable for high-concentration formulation. However, experimental screening is often material and labor intensive. Here, we present a strategy (named solPredict) that employs the embeddings from pretrained protein language modeling to predict the apparent solubility of mAbs in histidine (pH 6.0) buffer. A dataset of 220 diverse, in-house mAbs were used for model training and hyperparameter tuning through 5-fold cross validation. solPredict achieves high correlation with experimental solubility on an independent test set of 40 mAbs. Importantly, solPredict performs well for both IgG1 and IgG4 subclasses despite the distinct solubility behaviors. This approach eliminates the need of 3D structure modeling of mAbs, descriptor computation, and expert-crafted input features. The minimal computational expense of solPredict enables rapid, large-scale, and high-throughput screening of mAbs using sequence information alone during early antibody discovery.
