Evaluation of Poxvirus-Specific Antibody Response in Monkey Poxvirus-Negative and -Positive Cohorts.
Article in Vaccines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesUnderstanding the antibody response in monkeypox virus (MPXV)-infected and uninfected individuals is essential for developing next-generation MPXV vaccines. This study aimed to characterize neutralizing antibody (NAb) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) responses in both groups, providing insights into immune protection and vaccine design.
methodsA recombinant vaccinia Tian Tan (VTT) virus was utilized to develop high-throughput luciferase-reporter-based neutralization and ADCC assays. These assays were applied to evaluate the presence and levels of poxvirus-specific antibodies in MPXV-infected and uninfected individuals, including those vaccinated with vaccinia-based vaccines.
resultsPoxvirus-specific NAbs were detected in MPXV-negative individuals with prior vaccinia vaccination. However, MSM individuals exhibited significantly lower pre-existing NAb levels than non-MSM individuals, potentially contributing to their higher susceptibility to MPXV infection. In individuals with mild MPXV infection, robust NAb and ADCC responses were observed, regardless of vaccination status. Additionally, HIV-positive individuals demonstrated comparable antibody responses following MPXV infection.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the potential role of pre-existing NAbs in MPXV susceptibility and the strong immune response elicited by mild MPXV infection. Further research is needed to determine whether MPXV-specific antibodies mitigate disease progression, which could inform the development of effective MPXV vaccines.
