Tixagevimab/cilgavimab or placebo for COVID-19 in ACTIV-2: Safety, pharmacokinetics and neutralizing and anti-drug antibodies.

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
Monoclonal antibodies have potential as rapidly developable agents for treatment and prevention of emerging viruses. The ACTIV-2 trial randomized persons with mild-moderate COVID-19 to the monoclonal antibody combination tixagevimab/cilgavimab via intramuscular injection (600 mg IM) or infusion (300 mg IV) versus placebo. We present final safety and laboratory outcomes; primary outcomes were previously reported. The analyzed IM group included 214 participants, and the IV group, 106 participants. Adverse events were not different between treatment and placebo. The half-life of both components was >90 days for IM or 75 days for IV. New anti-drug antibodies were about 3 times more likely in active vs. placebo recipients. SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies increased 157-fold at 7 days and 127-fold at 1 month (IM-treated) but were less robust in IV participants. These data can inform future development of monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses, even if this intervention is of low utility for contemporary SARS-CoV-2 variants.
