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

Antibody effector functions contribute to the immune response to pathogens and can influence the efficacy of antibodies as therapeutics. To date, however, there is limited information on the molecular parameters that govern fragment crystallizable (Fc) effector functions. In this study, using AI-assisted protein design, the influences of binding kinetics, epitope location, and stoichiometry of binding on cellular Fc effector functions were investigated using engineered HIV-1 envelope as a model antigen. For this antigen, stoichiometry of binding was found to be the primary molecular determinant of FcγRIIIa signaling, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis, while epitope location and antibodybinding kinetics, at least in the ranges investigated, were of no substantial impact. These findings are of importance for informing the development of vaccination strategies against HIV-1 and, possibly, other viral pathogens.
