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

Remarkable progress has been made in recent decades in engineering antibodies and other protein therapeutics, including enhancements to existing functions as well as the advent of novel molecules that confer biological activities previously unknown in nature. These protein therapeutics have brought major benefits to patients across multiple areas of medicine. One major ongoing challenge is that protein therapeutics can elicit unwanted immune responses (immunogenicity) in treated patients, including the generation of anti-drug antibodies. In rare and unpredictable cases, anti-drug antibodies can seriously compromise therapeutic safety and/or efficacy. Systematic deconvolution of this immunogenicity problem is confounded by the complexity of its many contributing factors and the inherent limitations of available experimental and computational methods. Nevertheless, continued progress with the assessment and mitigation of immunogenicity risk at the preclinical stage has the potential to reduce the incidence and severity of clinical immunogenicity events. This Review focuses on identifying key unsolved anti-drug antibody-related challenges and offers some pragmatic approaches towards addressing them. Examples are drawn mainly from antibodies, given that the majority of available clinical data are from this class of protein therapeutics. Plausible and seemingly tractable solutions are in sight for some immunogenicity problems, whereas other challenges will likely require completely new approaches.
