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

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) inhibits human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication to maintain undetectable viral loads but does not result in a cure. Due to the significant challenges of lifelong ART for many, there is a strong interest in therapeutic strategies that result in a cure. Recent clinical trials have shown that administration of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) in the presence of some viremia can lead to ART-free viral control in some people; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Our computational modeling shows that bnAbs administered in the presence of some viremia promote the evolution of autologous antibodies (aAbs) that target diverse epitopes of HIV envelope proteins. This "net" of polyclonal aAbs could lead to sustained control because viral escape from such a response would require mutations in multiple epitopes. Our results provide a common mechanistic framework underlying recent clinical observations upon bnAb/ART therapy and could inform future trials.
