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

A scalable, serotype-agnostic, and fully chromatographic downstream platform was developed for the purification of adeno-associated virus (AAV) based on affinity chromatography (AC), anion-exchange chromatography (AEX), and multi-modal polishing chromatography (MMC). Quantitative proteomic profiling across each purification stage was performed using sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion mass spectra (SWATH-MS) to characterize residual host cell protein (HCP) retention for four AAV serotypes (AAV2, -5, -8, and -9) produced with suspension HEK293 cells. The downstream process showed cumulative vector genome (VG) yields ranging from 44.6 to 69.2% with full capsid enrichments ranging from 2.62- to 5.93-fold across all AAV samples. A total of 880, 99, and 21 HCPs were identified in all AAV samples after AC, AEX, and MMC, respectively. Vector-mediated mechanisms of retention are proposed (i.e., capsid or genome association) based on enrichment in protein- and nucleic acid-binding properties of difficult-to-remove HCPs, little clearance across multiple modes of separation, and divergence of HCP profiles for AAV-containing samples vs. null lysate material. The characterization of HCP retention described here advances the understanding of process-related impurity clearance in scalable AAV downstream systems, with implications for both purification process design and AAV interactions with host cell factors.
