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 multi-attribute method (MAM) by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry peptide mapping has the potential to replace multiple conventional HPLC- and capillary electrophoresis-based purity/impurity assays for release and stability testing of protein biopharmaceuticals such as monoclonal antibodies. Prerequisite is the availability of the new peak detection (NPD) functionality to reliably detect new, absent, and changed peptide species that may impair the quality, safety, and efficacy of the drug. Here, we describe the development, qualification, and application of a highly efficient and robust NPD workflow within the Genedata Expressionist® software. The detection thresholds have been rationally designed, and the NPD workflow has been successfully validated according to ICH Q2 guidelines. Individual case studies, including stability testing of drug product and detection of unknown impurities in drug substance, highlight the workflows' ability to reliably recognize relevant peptide species below 1% relative abundance without reporting any false positive peaks. The application of this NPD workflow signifies a substantial leap forward in the use of MAM as a quality control tool, as it allows identification of true positive peaks at adequate sensitivity in the absence of false positive peaks.
