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

Single-domain antibodies, known as nanobodies (Nbs), are widely used in structural biology, therapeutics, and as molecular probes in biology and biotechnology. Nbs towards soluble proteins are routinely developed via alpaca immunization or directed evolution in yeast cell-surface display. However, for membrane proteins, the targets are generally detergent-solubilized, and there remains a need for Nb development methods against membrane proteins in a native-like membrane environment. To address this need, we present a protocol for Nb selection via extraction of membrane proteins into amphiphilic polymers such as those based on styrene-maleic acid (SMA) to produce purified membrane proteins in stable liponanoparticles. Proof of generality is demonstrated by applying the pipeline to membrane-resident enzymes of differing fold, oligomerization state, and membrane topology (reentrant membrane helix, transmembrane, membrane-associated). Following screening for optimal stabilization into liponanoparticles, Nbs were selected against four target proteins from glycoconjugate biosynthesis pathways by yeast surface display. The selected Nbs showed high affinity and selectivity towards their target proteins with K
