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

Monoclonal antibodies are widely used biotherapeutics, whose efficacy and pharmacokinetics critically depend on their structural integrity. Among chemical degradation pathways, methionine oxidation is a particularly important post-translational modification that compromises antibody stability, Fc receptor binding, and thereby FcRn-mediated recycling and FcγR-mediated effector functions. However, the structural consequences of oxidation remain poorly understood, largely due to the subtle and localized nature of the modification. Here, we present an integrated analytical framework combining methyl-based NMR spectroscopy, selective enzymatic reduction, and peptide mapping to resolve methionine oxidation in the Fc region of human IgG1 antibodies at residue- and stereochemical-level resolution. By selectively labeling methionine methyl groups, we monitored oxidation-induced spectral changes in conserved Fc residues Met252 and Met428. Site-directed mutagenesis revealed a mutual influence between these residues, consistent with their spatial proximity at the C
