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

Through machine learning, identifying correlations between amino acid sequences of antibodies and their observed characteristics, we developed an internal viscosity prediction model to empower the rapid engineering of therapeutic antibody candidates. For a highly viscous anti-IL-13 monoclonal antibody, we used a structure-based rational design strategy to generate a list of variants that were hypothesized to mitigate viscosity. Our viscosity prediction tool was then used as a screen to cull virtually engineered variants with a probability of high viscosity while advancing those with a probability of low viscosity to production and testing. By combining the rational design engineering strategy with the in silico viscosity prediction screening step, we were able to efficiently improve the highly viscous anti-IL-13 candidate, successfully decreasing the viscosity at 150 mg/mL from 34 cP to 13 cP in a panel of 16 variants.
