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

A critical attribute of therapeutic antibodies is their ability to engage with humoral or cellular effector mechanisms, and this depends on the ability of the Fc region to bind to complement (C1q) or Fc receptors. Investigators have sought to optimize these effects by engineering the Fc region to bind to a greater or lesser extent to individual receptors. Different approaches have been used in the clinic, but they have not been systematically compared. We have now produced a matched set of anti-CD20 antibodies representing a range of variants and compared their activity in cell-based assays for complement-dependent cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and antibody-dependent phagocytosis using a range of individual Fc receptors. We have also compared the thermal stability of the variants by differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF). The results reveal a spectrum of activities which may be appropriate for different applications.
