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

Delivery of antigenic peptides to antigen presenting cells (APCs) such as dendritic cells (DCs) using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is an attractive approach to evoke antigen-specific T cell activation and improve drug efficacy. Peptide linkage to mAbs has previously been achieved through genetic fusion, chemical conjugation, nano-engineered platforms and high affinity peptides. In this study, we have developed a flexible antibody-peptide linking technology using oppositely charged coiled coil domains to non-covalently link peptides to mAbs. The technology comprises (1) an anti-CD40 mAb connected with negatively charged E domains and (2) an immunogenic OVA peptide (SIINFEKL) from ovalbumin used as a model antigenic peptide fused with positively charged K domains. Combining these constructs leads to the formation of complexes that can be targeted to CD40 expressed on cells. Proof of concept antibody constructs connected with E domains generated from transient expressions exhibited good manufacturability, binding, and stability attributes comparable to a control mAb. Also, optimal repeat lengths for coiled-coil oligomerization domains were identified in these studies. Binding kinetics studies showed that connecting E domains to mAbs do not impede Fc gamma and neonatal receptor interactions. Additionally, formation of stable complexes capable of binding CD40 expressing cells was demonstrated
