Rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 lineage is associated with increased neutralization evasion.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
In July/August 2023, the highly mutated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) BA.2.86 lineage emerged and its descendant JN.1 is on track to become the dominant SARS-CoV-2 lineage globally. Compared to the spike (S) protein of the parental BA.2.86 lineage, the JN.1 S protein contains one mutation, L455S, which may affect receptor binding and antibody evasion. Here, we performed a virological assessment of the JN.1 lineage employing pseudovirus particles bearing diverse SARS-CoV-2 S proteins. Using this strategy, it was found that S protein mutation L455S confers increased neutralization resistance but reduces ACE2 binding capacity and S protein-driven cell entry efficiency. Altogether, these data suggest that the benefit of increased antibody evasion outweighs the reduced ACE2 binding capacity and further enabled the JN.1 lineage to effectively spread in the human population.
