Potential linear B-cells epitope change to a helix structure in the spike of Omicron 21L or BA.2 predicts increased SARS-CoV-2 antibodies evasion.
Article in Virology, 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
The world health organization has announced that SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant (B.1.1.529), including the three versions; 21K (BA.1), 21L (BA.2) and 21M (BA.3) as a variant of concern (VOC) on November 2022. In this study, we used the specialized computational platforms to predict the stability and flexibility of the spike protein of Omicron. The aim of this study was to investigate the expected effect of Omicron spike mutations on its physiochemical properties. Findings of this study revealed 16 stabilizing mutations that might explain a newly gained environmental stability. We expect the new mutations to play a crucial role in changing the physiochemical properties of epitopes of the spike protein. The notable finding of SuerPose work was the potential linear B-cells epitope G252 → S255 that has been changed in the spike protein of the Omicron 21L to a helix structure which might confer an escape from human monoclonal antibodies.
