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

Virus neutralization profiles against primary infection sera and corresponding antigenic cartography are integral part of the COVID-19 and influenza vaccine strain selection processes. Human single variant exposure sera have previously defined the antigenic relationships among SARS-CoV-2 variants but are now largely unavailable due to widespread population immunity. Therefore, antigenic characterization of future SARS-CoV-2 variants will require an animal model, analogous to using ferrets for influenza virus. We evaluated neutralization profiles against 23 SARS-CoV-2 variants in nonhuman primates (NHPs) after single variant exposure and generated an NHP-derived antigenic map. We identified a distant antigenic region occupied by BA.2.86, JN.1, and the descendants KP.2, KP.3, and KZ.1.1.1. We also found that the monovalent XBB.1.5 mRNA vaccine induced broad immunity against the mapped antigenic space. In addition, substantial concordance was observed between our NHP-derived and two human antigenic maps, demonstrating the utility of NHPs as a surrogate for antigenic cartography in humans.
