Improved antibody pharmacokinetics by disruption of contiguous positive surface potential and charge reduction using alternate human framework.
Article in mAbs. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Optimal pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are essential to achieve the desired pharmacological benefits in patients. To accomplish this, we followed an approach comprising structure-based mAb charge engineering in conjunction with the use of relevant preclinical models to screen and select humanized candidates with PK suitable for clinical development. Murine mAb targeting TDP-43, ACI-5891, was humanized on a framework (VH1-3/VK2-30) selected based on the highest sequence homology. Since the initial humanized mAb (ACI-5891.1) presented a fast clearance in non-human primates (NHPs), reiteration of humanization on a less basic human framework (VH1-69-2/VK2-28) while retaining high sequence homology was performed. The resulting humanized variant, ACI-5891.9, presented a six-fold reduction in clearance in NHPs resulting in a significant increase in half-life. The observed reduced clearance of ACI-5891.9 was attributed not only to the overall reduction in isoelectric point (pI) by 2 units, but importantly to a more even surface potential. These data confirm the importance and contribution of surface charges to mAb disposition
