Fc receptor engagement of HIV-1 Env-specific antibodies in mothers and infants predicts reduced vertical transmission.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Infants acquire maternal antibodies by Fc receptor transcytosis across the placenta during pregnancy. Fc receptors are expressed on immune cells and are important for activation of effector cell functions. Methods: In this study, we evaluated Fc receptor engagement and ADCC activity of plasma binding antibodies from human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) -infected mothers and to identify factors that may contribute to protection from HIV vertical transmission. Results: HIV-specific binding and Fc receptor engagement of plasma antibodies varied between mothers by transmission status and infants by infection status. Non-transmitting (NT) mothers and HIV-uninfected infants had antibodies with higher neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) and FcγR engagement, as compared to transmitting (T) mothers and HIV+ infants, respectively. A significant inverse correlation between plasma antibody FcRn and FcγR engagement was observed for T mothers, but not NT mothers. Conversely, a significant direct correlation was observed between plasma antibody FcRn and FcγR engagement for HIV- infants, but not for HIV+ infants. Consequently, we observed significantly higher plasma antibody ADCC potency and breadth in HIV- infants, as compared to HIV+ infants. However, no differences in overall ADCC potency and breadth were observed between mothers. FcRn-engagement of HIV-specific antibodies in both mothers and infants predicted a lack of vertical transmission of HIV. Discussion: This study indicates that HIV-uninfected infants acquire HIV-specific antibodies with greater Fc receptor engagement and thus, greater ADCC capacity.
