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

Neuraminidase (NA) is a critical target for universal influenza vaccines and therapeutic antibodies, yet its antigenic landscape remains incompletely understood. Here we identify two broadly cross-protective monoclonal antibodies, CAV-F6 and CAV-F34, from influenza-infected individuals. These antibodies inhibit NA enzymatic activity across multiple subtypes and confer protection against seasonal influenza in female mouse models. Importantly, the two antibodies also neutralize emerging avian strains, including recent bovine H5N1 and H7N9 strains, both with pandemic potential. Structural studies reveal that both antibodies target conserved regions of the NA active site via HCDR3, blocking sialic acid interaction. Furthermore, we observe distinct occupancy for the two antibodies on N2 tetramer, which is likely due to differences in binding affinity. Our findings provide molecular insights into NA-targeted immunity and offer a foundation for developing broadly protective influenza vaccines and therapeutics.
