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

introductionABP 938 is being developed as a biosimilar to Eylea

methodsIn vitro target-binding kinetics and affinity for VEGF-A and placental growth factor (PIGF) isoforms were evaluated using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Effector functions were assessed by cell-based assays. PK was evaluated in a nonterminal intravitreal (IVT) ocular distribution study in rabbits. Safety was assessed in a 1-month IVT study in cynomolgus monkeys.

resultsSPR results demonstrated that ABP 938 is similar to aflibercept RP in binding kinetics and affinity for VEGF-A

conclusionsThis integrated assessment of results from the in vitro pharmacology assessment and in vivo PK and TK/toxicology profiles formed the nonclinical portion of the totality of evidence demonstrating ABP 938 is a biosimilar to aflibercept RP.
