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

Background: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), a severe parasitic infection often likened to "parasitic cancer", still lacks effective treatments. Although our earlier ork on the P29 monoclonal antibody (P29 mAb) against the parasite-derived P29 antigen showed potential, its efficacy remained limited, prompting the need for improved biologic agents. Methods: We applied β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) modification to engineer an enhanced antibody, P29 mAb Results: The modified antibody retained high antigen-binding affinity (KD = 343 pM) and exhibited markedly increased resistance to proteolytic degradation, with a 1.75-fold improvement in serum persistence after 5 weeks. Furthermore, in a murine model of AE, P29 mAb Conclusion: Our results establish a novel connection between protein engineering and antiparasitic therapy, illustrating that Kbhb modification not only augments the efficacy of anti-AE antibodies but also offers a versatile strategy for enhancing antibody stability and half-life. This offers a potential strategy for developing new treatments against neglected zoonotic diseases via tailored post-translational modifications.
