Genetic signatures in the highly virulent subtype B HIV-1 conferring immune escape to V1/V2 and V3 broadly neutralizing antibodies.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
HIV-1 is considered to become less susceptible to existing neutralizing antibodies over time. Our study on the virulent B (VB) HIV-1 identified genetic signatures responsible for immune escape from broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) targeting V1/V2 and V3 glycan epitopes. We found that the absence of N295 and N332 glycans in the high mannose patch, which are crucial for neutralization by V3 glycan bNAbs and are typically conserved in subtype B HIV-1, is a notable feature in more than half of the VB variants. Neutralization assays confirmed that the loss of these two glycans in VB HIV-1 leads to escape from V3 glycan bNAbs. Additionally, all VB variants we investigated have an insertion in V2, contributing to immune escape from V1/V2 bNAbs PG9 and PG16. These findings suggest potential co-evolution of HIV-1 virulence and antigenicity, underscoring the need to monitor both the pathogenicity and neutralization susceptibility of newly emerged HIV-1 strains.
