An update of antispike severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) monoclonal antibodies.
Review in Indian journal of pharmacology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The use of monoclonal antibodies has expanded beyond the realm of autoimmune disease and cancer therapeutics to communicable diseases. Their antiviral activities were evaluated in some diseases such as SARS MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and Ebola. In recent times, antispike SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody cocktails (casirivimab with imdevimab and bamlanivimab with etesevimab) and single agent sotrovimab have received emergency use authorization for treatment of nonhospitalized COVID-19 patients with mild-to-moderate disease at high risk of disease progression. This review summarizes their mechanism of action, salient pharmacokinetic profile, safety and clinical trial (ongoing and completed) data. Despite evidence to support its use for the indication, the high cost of these biologics may make it unaffordable for many patients, but further clinical studies on their cost-benefit profile shall provide useful information to the scientific community and patients.
