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 emergence and re-emergence of highly virulent viral pathogens with the potential to cause a pandemic creates an urgent need for the accelerated discovery of antiviral therapeutics. Antiviral human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are promising candidates for the prevention and treatment of severe viral diseases, but their long development timeframes limit their rapid deployment and use. Here, we report the development of an integrated sequence of technologies, including single-cell mRNA-sequence analysis, bioinformatics, synthetic biology and high-throughput functional analysis, that enables the rapid discovery of highly potent antiviral human mAbs, the activity of which we validated in vivo. In a 78-d study modelling the deployment of a rapid response to an outbreak, we isolated more than 100 human mAbs that are specific to Zika virus, assessed their function, identified that 29 of these mAbs have broadly neutralizing activity, and verified the therapeutic potency of the lead candidates in mice and non-human primate models of infection through the delivery of an antibody-encoding mRNA formulation and of the respective IgG antibody. The pipeline provides a roadmap for rapid antibody-discovery programmes against viral pathogens of global concern.
