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

backgroundThe spread of emerging SARS-CoV-2 immune escape sublineages, especially JN.1 and KP.2, has resulted in new waves of COVID-19 globally. The evolving memory B cell responses elicited by the parental Omicron variants to subvariants with substantial antigenic drift remain incompletely investigated.

methodsUsing the single B cell antibody cloning technology, we isolated single memory B cells, delineated the B cell receptor repertoire and conducted the pseudovirus-based assay for recovered neutralizing antibodies (NAb) screening. We analyzed the cryo-EM structures of top broadly NAbs (bnAbs) and evaluated their in vivo efficacy (golden Syrian hamster model).

findingsBy investigating the evolution of human B cell immunity, we discovered a new panel of bnAbs arising from vaccinees after Omicron BA.2/BA.5 breakthrough infections. Two lead bnAbs neutralized major Omicron subvariants including JN.1 and KP.2 with IC

interpretationOur findings demonstrated that class I bnAbs have evolved an ultrapotent mode of action protecting against highly transmissible and broad Omicron escape variants, and their epitopes are potential targets for novel bnAbs and vaccine development.
