Limited anti-HIV neutralizing antibody breadth and potency before and after HIV superinfection in Danish men who have sex with men.
Article in Infectious diseases (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe role of the anti-HIV neutralizing antibody response in protecting against HIV superinfection, and changes in neutralizing antibody potency and breadth after HIV superinfection have not been fully elucidated. This study examined the rate of HIV superinfection in men who have sex with men (MSM) also diagnosed with syphilis in Denmark, and the anti-HIV neutralizing antibody response in men who became superinfected. MATERIALS AND
methodsMSM enrolled in the Danish HIV cohort who acquired syphilis were examined longitudinally for HIV superinfection using a validated next-generation sequencing assay. HIV superinfection cases were matched 3:1 to controls, and neutralizing antibody responses before (cases/controls) and after (cases) HIV superinfection were determined using a 20-pseudovirus panel.
resultsFour cases of HIV superinfection were identified from 95 MSM screened for a rate of HIV superinfection of 1.56/100 pys (95% CI = 0.43-4.01). Prior to HIV superinfection neutralizing antibody responses were low in breadth and potency, and did not differ between cases and controls (p = 1.0). In cases, neutralizing antibody responses increased modestly after HIV superinfection.
conclusionsThese data support the theory that the natural neutralizing antibody response to HIV infection may not be the controlling factor in protecting against a subsequent HIV challenge.
