Cross-neutralization of distant coronaviruses correlates with Spike S2-specific antibodies from immunocompetent and immunocompromised vaccinated SARS-CoV-2-infected patients.
Article in Research square, 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
As of May 2023, the public health emergency of COVID-19 was lifted across the globe. However, SARS-CoV-2 infections continue to be recorded worldwide. This situation has been attributed to the ability of the virus to evade host immune responses including neutralizing antibody-derived Immunity. The vast majority of antibody escape mutations have been associated with the S1 subunit of the spike protein, especially the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) but also the N-terminal Domain (NTD). The other region of the spike, the S2 subunit, is the most conserved region amongst coronaviruses. We hypothesized that S2-specific antibody responses are suboptimal in vaccinated and SARS-CoV-2 infected patients resulting in an ineffective neutralization of distant coronaviruses. Here, we analyzed S2-specific antibody responses SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals, including a mixed cohort of those with and without immunosuppression and prior vaccination. We found that S2-specific antibody responses are generally lower than S1-specific antibody responses. Furthermore, we observed in immunocompetent individuals that S1 and S2-specific antibody responses are both positively correlated with Wuhan, Omicron, SARS-CoV and W1V1-CoV pseudovirus neutralization. Among the immunocompromised patients, S1-specific antibody responses were rarely correlated with pseudovirus neutralization in contrast to S2-specific antibody responses which frequently correlated with pseudovirus neutralization. These data highlight the potential of the S2-subunit as an ideal target for induction of cross-neutralizing antibody immunity against divergent coronaviruses.
