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

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the influenza hemagglutinin (HA) can be used as prophylactics or templates for next-generation vaccines. Here, we isolated broad, subtype-neutralizing mAbs from human B cells recognizing the H1 or H3 HA "head" and a mAb engaging the conserved stem. The H1 mAbs bind the lateral patch epitope on HAs from 1933 to 2021 and a prepandemic swine H1N1 virus. We improved neutralization potency using directed evolution toward a contemporary H1 HA. Deep mutational scanning of four antigenically distinct H1N1 viruses identified potential viral escape pathways. For the H3 mAbs, we used cryo-electron microscopy to define their epitopes: One mAb binds the side of the HA head, accommodating the N133 glycan and a pocket underneath the receptor binding site; the other mAb recognizes an HA stem epitope that partially overlaps with previously characterized mAbs but with distinct antibody variable genes. Collectively, these mAbs identify conserved sites recognized by broadly-reactive mAbs that may be elicited by next-generation vaccines.
