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

Immunogenicity testing to detect and characterize anti-drug antibody (ADA) is required for almost all biotherapeutics. Monoclonal antibody biotherapeutics usually have long half-lives and for high-dose indications such as oncology, high level of drug will be present in the testing samples and interfere with ADA and/or neutralization antibody (NAb) measurement. To overcome this drug interference, acid-dissociation-based sample pre-treatment such as Bead-Extraction and Acid Dissociation (BEAD) has been successfully applied. The main concern for these acid-dissociation-based methods, however, is that harsh acid treatment could denature positive control Abs as well as NAb species in testing samples. In addition, high amount of biotinylated drug is needed in order to have effective competition with high level of drug in the samples, which in turn requires expensive magnetic beads. And the whole process of magnetic beads handling is tedious if doing manually and often causes trouble during assay transfer. Here, we describe a novel method which we named as Precipitation, Acid Dissociation and Biotin-drug as Assay Drug (PABAD). This novel method will need only one step of acid dissociation, with much milder and shorter acid treatment to maximally preserve NAb activity. In addition, only a fraction of biotinylated-drug is needed and there is no need to use additional streptavidin (SA)-plate or SA-magnetic beads for extraction. Compared to a BEAD-based assay, PABAD demonstrates significantly improved recovery of acid-sensitive NAb positive controls (PCs) and similar recovery of acid-resistant NAb PCs.
