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

The continuous emergence of novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants poses new challenges in the fight against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The newly emerging Omicron strain caused serious immune escape and raised unprecedented concern all over the world. The development of an antibody targeting a conserved and universal epitope is urgently needed. A subset of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against COVID-19 from convalescent patients were isolated in our previous study. In this study, we investigated the accommodation of these NAbs to SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs), revealing that IgG 553-49 neutralizes pseudovirus of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. In addition, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein complexed with three monoclonal antibodies targeting different epitopes, including 553-49, 553-15, and 553-60. Notably, 553-49 targets a novel conserved epitope and neutralizes the virus by disassembling S trimers. IgG 553-15, an antibody that neutralizes all of the VOCs except Omicron, cross-links two S trimers to form a trimer dimer, demonstrating that 553-15 neutralizes the virus by steric hindrance and virion aggregation. These findings suggest the potential to develop 553-49 and other antibodies targeting this highly conserved epitope as promising therapeutic reagents for COVID-19.
