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

Protein developability is an important, yet often overlooked, aspect of protein discovery campaigns that is a key driver of utility. Recent advances have improved developability screening capacity, making it an increasingly viable option in early-stage discovery. Here, we engineered one component of developability, stability, of two affibody proteins-one that targets death receptor 5 and another that targets tumor necrosis factor receptor 1-previously evolved to bind receptor and non-competitively inhibit signaling via conformational modulation. Starting from an error-prone PCR library of each affibody, variants were screened via yeast surface display binder selections, including depletion of non-specific binders, followed by developability assessment using the on-yeast protease and yeast display level assays. Multiplex deep sequencing identified variants for further evaluation. Purified variants exhibited elevated stability-8°C to 14°C increase in T
