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

The bispecific antibody tarperprumig (ALXN1820) was developed as a treatment option for diseases involving dysregulated complement alternative pathway (AP) activity that could be administered in small volumes, either subcutaneously or intravenously. Tarperprumig incorporates a C-terminal variable domain of a heavy chain only antibody (VHH) that binds properdin (FP) connected via a flexible linker to an N-terminal VHH that binds human serum albumin (HSA). The purified bispecific VHH antibody exhibits an experimental molecular weight average of 27.4 kDa and can be formulated at > 100 mg/mL. Tarperprumig binds tightly to FP and HSA with sub-nanomolar affinity at pH 7.4 and can associate simultaneously with FP and HSA to form a ternary complex. Tarperprumig potently and dose-dependently inhibits to completion
