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

The growing demand for therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has heightened the need for efficient and scalable purification strategies. A major challenge in downstream processing is the removal of antibody aggregates, which can compromise drug safety, efficacy, and regulatory compliance. This review explores the use of multimodal chromatography for aggregate separation, providing an in-depth analysis of commercially available resins and emerging adsorbent prototypes. It also examines the mechanisms of aggregate formation during bioprocessing. A comparative evaluation of conventional single-mode chromatography techniques-affinity, ion exchange, and hydrophobic interaction-is presented alongside multimodal chromatography, which integrates ion-exchange, hydrophobic, and other non-covalent interactions for enhanced aggregate clearance and process flexibility. The review primarily assesses commercial multimodal resins in terms of aggregate removal efficiency, binding capacity, and scalability. Additionally, advancements in prototype resins and multimodal membranes are discussed. Finally, the advantages, limitations, and future directions of multimodal chromatography in mAb aggregate removal are outlined. As purification demands continue to evolve, multimodal chromatography is poised to play an increasingly critical role in achieving the high purity standards required for therapeutic antibodies.
