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

Antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) is an Fc-mediated effector function that contributes to the clearance of pathogens, including HIV. Conventional bead-based ADCP assays using recombinant Env proteins provide valuable insights but do not recapitulate the structural and antigenic complexity of intact virions, potentially limiting their physiological relevance. Here, we describe a virus particle-based ADCP assay that preserves the native conformation and glycosylation of the HIV envelope glycoprotein (Env), features critical for antibody recognition and Fcγ receptor engagement. The assay utilizes THP-1 monocyte-derived cells as effector cells and sucrose purified HIV-1 virions coupled with fluorescent beads, as targets. This platform enables sensitive and reproducible measurement of antibody-mediated phagocytosis in a biologically relevant context, facilitating accurate assessment of Fc effector functions across monoclonal and polyclonal antibody samples from multiple species. The approach addresses key limitations of traditional assays and provides a scalable tool for evaluating humoral immunity in HIV infection and vaccine studies.
