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

The broadly neutralizing 2F5 and 4E10 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) recognize epitopes within the membrane-proximal external region (MPER) that connects the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope gp41 ectodomain with the transmembrane anchor. By adopting different conformations that stably insert into the virion external membrane interface, such as helical structures, a conserved aromatic-rich sequence within the MPER is thought to participate in HIV-1-cell fusion. Recent experimental evidence suggests that the neutralizing activity of 2F5 and 4E10 might correlate with the MAbs' capacity to recognize epitopes inserted into the viral membrane, thereby impairing MPER fusogenic activity. To gain new insights into the molecular mechanism underlying viral neutralization by these antibodies, we have compared the capacities of 2F5 and 4E10 to block the membrane-disorganizing activity of MPER peptides inserted into the surface bilayer of solution-diffusing unilamellar vesicles. Both MAbs inhibited leakage of vesicular aqueous contents (membrane permeabilization) and intervesicular lipid mixing (membrane fusion) promoted by MPER-derived peptides. Thus, our data support the idea that antibody binding to a membrane-inserted epitope may interfere with the function of the MPER during gp41-induced fusion. Antibody insertion into a cholesterol-containing, uncharged virion-like membrane is mediated by specific epitope recognition, and moreover, partitioning-coupled folding into a helix reduces the efficiency of 2F5 MAb binding to its epitope in the membrane. We conclude that the capacity to interfere with the membrane activity of conserved MPER sequences is best correlated with the broad neutralization of the 4E10 MAb.
