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

Recently, the monkeypox virus (MPXV) outbreak was once again declared by the World Health Organization as a global health emergency, and currently, there is no specific drug against MPXV. During the replication cycle, MPXV produces two distinct forms of viral particles: extracellular enveloped virus (EEV), released via exocytosis, and intracellular mature virus (IMV), expelled through host cell lysis. A29 and B6 proteins are membrane proteins found on the IMV and EEV viral particles, respectively. This study designed two different bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) targeting specific antigens of the MPXV: the developed bsAb 9F8-3A1 targets two non-competitive binding epitopes on the MPXV protein A29, while bsAb 9F8-7C9 targets different antigen-binding epitopes on both A29 and B6.
