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

Hendra and Nipah viruses (HNVs), zoonotic paramyxoviruses with >50% case fatality rates, cause fatal encephalitis and respiratory disease, yet lack approved therapies. Here, nine rhesus-derived monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the fusion glycoprotein (F) prefusion conformation are developed. Four mAbs exhibit first-rate cross-neutralization against HNVs, with two showing synergistic potency when combined with attachment glycoprotein (G)-specific mAbs. Single-dose administration of mAbs confers robust protection against lethal Nipah virus challenge in hamsters. Structural insights reveal that 8 of the 9 potent mAbs adopt a human IGHV4-59-like framework with protruding CDRH3 loops, forming pushpin-shaped paratopes that stabilize the prefusion F-trimer by occupying vulnerable interprotomer cavities. Systematic mutational profiling identifies 14 prefusion-locking residues within the F ectodomain, classified as i) structural linchpins governing fusogenicity or ii) immunodominant hotspots targeted by cross-neutralizing mAbs. This work delivers promising therapeutic candidates against HNVs and provides blueprints for the rational design of antibodies and vaccines targeting viral fusion machinery.
