Design and characterization of HIV-1 vaccine candidates to elicit antibodies targeting multiple epitopes.
Article in The Journal of experimental medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
A primary goal in the development of an AIDS vaccine is the elicitation of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) that protect against diverse HIV-1 strains. To this aim, germline-targeting immunogens have been developed to activate bNAb precursors and initiate the induction of bNAbs. While most preclinical germline-targeting HIV-1 vaccine candidates only include a single bNAb precursor epitope, an effective HIV-1 vaccine will likely require bNAbs that target multiple epitopes on Env. Here, we report a newly designed germline-targeting Env SOSIP trimer, named 3nv.2, that presents three bNAb epitopes on Env: the CD4bs, V3, and V2 epitopes. 3nv.2 forms a stable trimeric Env and binds to bNAb precursors from each of the desired epitopes. Immunization experiments in rhesus macaques and mice demonstrate 3nv.2 elicits the combined effects of its parent immunogens. Our results provide proof of concept for using a germline-targeting immunogen presenting three or more bNAb epitopes and a framework to develop improved next-generation HIV-1 vaccine candidates.
