Quality by design for transient RBD-Fc fusion protein production in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

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
Quality by design (QbD) is applied to the upstream process to maximize the RBD-Fc fusion protein production in CHO cells. The three factors (culture duration, temperature, and polyethyleneimine to plasmid DNA (PEI-Max/pDNA) ratio) were identified as critical process attributes based on risk analysis (FMEA) and further optimized by response surface to maximize the protein yields. Using a Box-Behnken design, the optimal conditions for RBD-Fc production were determined to be a culture duration of 5 days, a culture temperature of 34.4 °C, and a PEI-Max/pDNA ratio of 4.2:1 (w/w) with a predictive value of 48 mg/L (desirability of 92.8 %). The PEI-Max/pDNA ratio and its interaction with culture duration to express the highest yield (47.78 ± 2.30 mg/l). In addition, the purified CHO-produced RBD-Fc fusion protein was highly pure and strongly bound to its receptor, ACE2. Our finding demonstrated that the QBD tools can identify the critical parameters to facilitate scaling-up production.
