Histidine Tag-Specific PEGylation Improves the Circulating Half-Life of TIMP2.
Article in ACS applied bio materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
An overarching limitation of therapeutic biologics is the limited half-life these proteins often exhibit once in circulation. PEGylation, the chemical conjugation of proteins to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), is a common strategy to improve protein pharmacokinetics (PK) by enhancing stability, reducing immunogenicity, and decreasing renal clearance. Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2) is a 22 kDa matrisome protein that exhibits therapeutic potential across a range of human disease models yet possesses a short serum half-life. To advance the therapeutic development of recombinant His-tagged TIMP2 (TIMP2), we utilized primary amine conjugation (1 kDa) and site-specific histidine conjugation (10 kDa) to improve its circulating half-life. Primary amine conjugation of PEG molecules to TIMP2 (TIMP2-a-PEG(
