1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

motivationKnowing the sensitivity of a viral strain versus a monoclonal antibody is of interest for HIV vaccine development and therapy. The HIV strains vary in their resistance to antibodies, and the accurate prediction of virus-antibody sensitivity can be used to find potent antibody combinations that broadly neutralize multiple and diverse HIV strains. Sensitivity prediction can be combined with other methods such as generative algorithms to design novel antibodies in silico or with feature selection to uncover the sites of interest in the sequence. However, these tools are limited in the absence of in silico accurate prediction methods.

resultsOur method leverages the CATNAP dataset, probably the most comprehensive collection of HIV-antibodies assays, and predicts the antibody-virus sensitivity in the form of binary classification. The methods proposed by others focus primarily on analyzing the virus sequences. However, our article demonstrates the advantages gained by modeling the antibody-virus sensitivity as a function of both virus and antibody sequences. The input is formed by the virus envelope and the antibody variable region aminoacid sequences. No structural features are required, which makes our system very practical, given that sequence data is more common than structures. We compare with two other state-of-the-art methods that leverage the same dataset and use sequence data only. Our approach, based on neuronal networks and transfer learning, measures increased predictive performance as measured on a set of 31 specific broadly neutralizing antibodies.
