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

Protein-based therapeutics may elicit undesired immune responses in a subset of patients, leading to the production of anti-drug antibodies (ADA). In some cases, ADAs have been reported to affect the pharmacokinetics, efficacy and/or safety of the drug. Accurate prediction of the ADA response can help drug developers identify the immunogenicity risk of the drug candidates, thereby allowing them to make the necessary modifications to mitigate the immunogenicity. In this study, we leveraged the rich clinical study data collected by Roche/Genentech to identify factors that impact drug immunogenicity. We focused on conventional monoclonal antibodies, but have included a variety of additional drug modalities in the analysis. We show that the clinical ADA incidences are associated with the mechanism of action of the drugs, the mechanism of action of comedications, the routes of drug administration and the diseases of the patient cohort. By combining these clinical factors with the in silico epitope prediction, we improved the prediction accuracy of drug immunogenicity in clinical trials (AUC of cross validation improved from 0.72 to 0.93).
