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

Because antigenic drift primarily generates amino-acid changes in the membrane-distal hemagglutinin (HA) head, broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) are being developed to target conserved epitopes in the membrane-proximal stem. Mutations to HA2 residue A44, a buried residue beneath the central stem epitope, in 2009 H1N1 viruses have been shown to cause resistance to stem-binding bNAbs. Here, we introduced A44V and A44T mutations into A/Tennessee/1-560/2009 (TN09) and A/Puerto Rico/15/2018 (PR18) and investigated their effects in cell culture, mice, and ferrets. In both virus strains, the mutations decreased HA and virus stability and decreased bNAb binding and neutralization in vitro. The mutations reduced pathogenicity and lung replication in DBA/2J mice. Ferrets were inoculated with PR18 wild-type (WT) or A44V virus, and the A44V mutation reduced day-1 and peak nasal virus titers. Airborne transmission in the A44V group occurred only after genotypic reversion (HA2-V44A) or acquisition of a distal re-stabilizing mutation (HA2-I77M). Compared to WT, an engineered PR18 virus containing both HA2 mutations (A44V and I77M) had similar growth and pathogenicity in mice in addition to decreased binding and neutralization by bNAbs. Overall, this work provides insight into the role of HA stability during HA stem-epitope remodeling that results in virus resistance to stem-binding bNAbs.
