An anti-G protein monoclonal antibody treats RSV disease more effectively than an anti-F monoclonal antibody in BALB/c mice.

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.
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
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) belongs to the family Paramyxoviridae and is the single most important cause of serious lower respiratory tract infections in young children, yet no highly effective treatment or vaccine is available. To clarify the potential for an anti-G mAb, 131-2G which has both anti-viral and anti-inflammatory effects, to effectively treat RSV disease, we determined the kinetics of its effect compared to the effect of the anti-F mAb, 143-6C on disease in mice. Treatment administered three days after RSV rA2-line19F (r19F) infection showed 131-2G decreased breathing effort, pulmonary mucin levels, weight loss, and pulmonary inflammation earlier and more effectively than treatment with mAb 143-6C. Both mAbs stopped lung virus replication at day 5 post-infection. These data show that, in mice, anti-G protein mAb is superior to treating disease during RSV infection than an anti-F protein mAb similar to Palivizumab. This combination of anti-viral and anti-inflammatory activity makes 131-2G a promising candidate for treating for active human RSV infection.
