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

HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins (Env) from primary HIV-1 isolates typically adopt a pretriggered "closed" conformation that resists to CD4-induced (CD4i) non-neutralizing antibodies (nnAbs) mediating antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). CD4-mimetic compounds (CD4mcs) "open-up" Env allowing binding of CD4i nnAbs, thereby sensitizing HIV-1-infected cells to ADCC. Two families of CD4i nnAbs, the anti-cluster A and anti-coreceptor binding site (CoRBS) Abs, are required to mediate ADCC in combination with the indane CD4mc BNM-III-170. Recently, new indoline CD4mcs with improved potency and breadth have been described. Here, we show that the lead indoline CD4mc, CJF-III-288, sensitizes HIV-1-infected cells to ADCC mediated by anti-CoRBS Abs alone, contributing to improved ADCC activity. When administrated along with the anti-CoRBS 17b, CJF-III-288 delayed viral rebound after ART interruption in HIV-1-infected humanized mice, demonstrating potential for eliciting ADCC in vivo. Structural and conformational analyses reveal that CJF-III-288, in combination with this anti-CoRBS Abs, potently stabilizes an asymmetric "open" State-3 Env conformation. This Env conformation orients the anti-CoRBS Ab to improve ADCC activity and therapeutic potential.
