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

Hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is commonly used to determine the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) and drug load distribution of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). However, identifying various DAR species separated by HIC is challenging due to the traditional use of mobile phases that are incompatible with mass spectrometry (MS). Existing approaches used to couple HIC with MS often encounter issues, such as complex instrumentation, compromised separation efficiency, and reduced MS sensitivity. In this study, we introduce a 22-min online native HIC-MS method for the separation and characterization of different DAR species in ADCs, addressing these challenges. The key novelty of this method is the use of ammonium tartrate, a kosmotropic and thermally decomposable salt, as the salt of HIC mobile phase, ensuring both excellent HIC separation and MS compatibility. Additionally, an ultrashort size exclusion chromatography step is integrated for online sample cleaning, enhancing MS sensitivity. This platform native HIC-MS method offers a rapid, sensitive, and robust solution for comprehensive profiling of DAR species in ADCs with a simple and cost-effective instrumental setup.
