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

Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) are correlated with passive HIV/SHIV protection and are desirable components of a HIV protective immunity. In the current study, we have designed a sequential-immunization strategy with a panel of envelope glycoprotein (Env)-enriched virus-like particles (VLPs) from various HIV-1 clades (A-E) to elicit bnAbs with high breadth and potency of neutralization in rabbits. We have compared this regimen with repetitive immunizations of individual Env (subtype B) VLPs or a mixture of various Env VLPs. Our results demonstrate that the sequential immunization group of animals induced significantly higher IgG endpoint titers against respective HIV Env (autologous) antigen than other control groups. Animals vaccinated sequentially showed an increase in the antibody endpoint titers and IgG antibody secreting cells (ASCs) against Con-S Env protein. Sequential immunizations with various Env VLPs promoted antibody avidity indices and enhanced bnAb responses against a panel of HIV pseudotyped virions including some of the tier 3 pseudostrains. Sequential immunizations with various VLPs displaying "native-like" HIV-1 Envs elicited bnAb responses with increased breadth and potency of neutralization.
