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

Background: BGB-DXP593, a neutralising monoclonal antibody against SARS-CoV-2, has demonstrated strong activity in reducing viral RNA copy number in SARS-CoV-2-infected animal models. We aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of BGB-DXP593 in ambulatory patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. Methods: This global, randomised, double-blind, phase 2 study (ClinicalTrials.govNCT04551898) screened patients from 20 sites in Australia, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and the USA from December 2, 2020, through January 25, 2021. Patients with a first-positive SARS-CoV-2 test (positive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test or authorised antigen test) ≤3 days before screening and mild-to-moderate COVID-19 symptoms for ≤7 days before treatment were randomised 1:1:1:1 to receive a single intravenous infusion of BGB-DXP593 5, 15, or 30 mg/kg, or placebo. The primary endpoint was change from baseline to Day 8 in viral RNA copies/mL as measured in nasopharyngeal swabs. Secondary endpoints were hospitalisation rate due to worsening COVID-19 and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). A prespecified exploratory endpoint was change in viral RNA copy number in saliva. Findings: Relative to the natural rate of clearance as assessed in placebo-exposed patients (-3.12 log Interpretation: BGB-DXP593 was well tolerated. Although nasopharyngeal swab SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA copy number was not significantly decreased compared with placebo, viral RNA copy number was inconsistently reduced by Day 8 in saliva at some doses as low as 5 mg/kg.
