Bispecific antibodies provide broad neutralization of emerging beta-coronaviruses by targeting ACE2 and viral spikes.

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
Human coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 have recurrently emerged as significant pathogens, causing severe respiratory illnesses and presenting challenges to monoclonal antibody therapeutics due to their rapid evolution, particularly the diverse variants of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we utilized "Knob-into-Hole" and "IgG-scFv" technologies to engineer bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) that target both the viral receptor and spike protein, enhancing their neutralization breadth and potency. Our bsAbs, combining anti-SARS-CoV-2 or anti-MERS-CoV antibodies with an anti-ACE2 antibody, demonstrated effective neutralization across a range of SARS-CoV-2 variants, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV in both pseudovirus and authentic virus assays. Notably, the "IgG-scFv" bsAbs format exhibited superior binding and neutralization capabilities compared to the "Knob-into-Hole" configurations. The most effective of these, "IgG-scFv" H11B11_m336, displayed exceptional neutralization potency against a panel of 24 pseudotyped Beta-Coronaviruses, with IC
