Delta-Omicron recombinant escapes therapeutic antibody neutralization.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2022. 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
Background: The emergence of recombinant viruses is a threat to public health. Recombination of viral variants may combine variant-specific features that together catalyze viral escape from treatment or immunity. The selective advantages of recombinant SARS-CoV-2 isolates over their parental lineages remain unknown. Methods: Multi-method amplicon and metagenomic sequencing of a clinical swab and the Results: A novel Delta-Omicron SARS-CoV-2 recombinant was identified in an unvaccinated, immunosuppressed kidney transplant recipient treated with monoclonal antibody Sotrovimab. The recombination breakpoint is located in the spike N-terminal domain, adjacent to the Sotrovimab quaternary binding site, and results in a 5'-Delta AY.45 and a 3'-Omicron BA.1 mosaic spike protein. Delta and BA.1 are sensitive to Sotrovimab neutralization, whereas the Delta-Omicron recombinant is highly resistant to Sotrovimab, both with and without the RBD resistance mutation E340D. Conclusions: Recombination between circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants can functionally contribute to immune escape. It is critical to validate phenotypes of mosaic viruses and monitor immunosuppressed COVID-19 patients treated with monoclonal antibodies for the selection of recombinant and immune escape variants.
