Impact of Casirivimab-Imdevimab on Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Delta Variant Nasopharyngeal Virus Load and Spike Quasispecies.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2022. 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
Background: The increasing use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to treat coronavirus disease 2019 raises questions about their impact on the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mAb-resistant variants. We assessed the impact of Casirivimab-Imdevimab on SARS-CoV-2 mutations associated with reduced mAb activity in treated patients. Methods: We measured the nasopharyngeal (NP) viral load and sequenced the haplotypes of spike gene of 50 patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 delta variant and treated with Casirivimab-Imdevimab using single-molecule real-time sequencing. Results: The NP SARS-CoV-2 viral load of patients treated with Casirivimab-Imdevimab decreased from 8.13 (interquartile range [IQR], 7.06-8.59) log Conclusions: Casirivimab-Imdevimab is an effective treatment for patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 delta variant. Despite selective pressure on SARS-CoV-2 Spike quasispecies, we detected no key mutations that reduced mAb activity in our patients.
