Diverse contributions of avidity to the broad neutralization of Dengue virus by antibodies targeting the E dimer epitope.
Article in Virology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Antibodies (Abs) recognizing the Dengue virus (DENV) E dimer epitope (EDE) that potently neutralize all DENV serotypes are promising templates for vaccine design. As an important feature for some Abs is their bivalency, we sought to define the role avidity plays in neutralization by EDE Abs. We compared neutralization activity between bivalent IgGs and monovalent Ab fragments (Fabs) for two EDE Abs, A11 and C10. IgG forms of both Abs exhibited more potent neutralization activity than their counterpart Fabs, yet only for C10 was this enhanced activity associated with bivalent binding. A11 and C10 also exhibited differential binding profiles to DENV virus-like particles under acidic conditions mimicking the environment that triggers viral membrane fusion, suggesting that EDE Abs employ diverse neutralization mechanisms despite sharing an epitope. Delineating the full range of Ab binding modes and neutralization mechanisms against a single epitope may inform therapeutic approaches and refine vaccine design.
