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

Antibodies are generated with great diversity in nature resulting in a set of molecules, each optimized to bind a specific target. Taking advantage of their diversity and specificity, antibodies make up for a large part of recently developed biologic drugs. For therapeutic use antibodies need to fulfill several criteria to be safe and efficient. Polyspecific antibodies can bind structurally unrelated molecules in addition to their main target, which can lead to side effects and decreased efficacy in a therapeutic setting, for example via reduction of effective drug levels. Therefore, we created a neural-network-based model to predict polyspecificity of antibodies using the heavy chain variable region sequence as input. We devised a strategy for enriching antibodies from an immunization campaign either for antigen-specific or polyspecific binding properties, followed by generation of a large sequencing data set for training and cross-validation of the model. We identified important physico-chemical features influencing polyspecificity by investigating the behaviour of this model. This work is a machine-learning-based approach to polyspecificity prediction and, besides increasing our understanding of polyspecificity, it might contribute to therapeutic antibody development.
