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

Researchers can often successfully generate antibodies to predicted epitopes. Especially when the epitopes are on the surface of a protein or in a hydrophilic loop. But it is difficult to direct recombinant antibodies to bind either to- or near a specific amino acid on a protein or peptide. We have developed a unique immune-targeting strategy, that we call "Epivolve," that enables us to make site-specific antibodies (Abs). Epivolve technology leverages a highly immunogenic modified amino acid that acts as a "pseudo-hapten" immuno-target and takes advantage of Ab affinity maturation technologies to make high-affinity site-specific antibodies. Epivolve functions by the evolution of an Ab paratope to either synonymous or especially non-synonymous amino acid (aa) binding. Here we describe the use of Epivolve technology in phage display and the protocols for developing site-specific antibodies.
