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

Sequential immunization is a promising approach to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against the HIV-1 Envelope (Env). However, available protocols are inefficient and involve multiple immunizations over long periods of time. Here, we present WIN332, a new engineered Env immunogen that induces a new class of Asn332-glycan-independent antibodies to the conserved V3-glycan epitope of Env with low inhibitory activity indicative of a neutralization activity after a single bolus immunization in nonhuman primates. WIN332 binds to precursors of canonical human Asn332-glycan-dependent (type-I) V3-glycan bNAbs but also of a first-of-its-class Asn332-glycan-independent (type-II) V3-glycan bNAb. A single immunization elicits low inhibitory serum and monoclonal antibodies that are boosted and affinity matured with a heterologous immunogen. Electron microscopy polyclonal epitope mapping analysis of serum antibodies, antibody cloning and cryogenic electron microscopy analysis reveals that WIN332 elicits Asn332-glycan-independent antibodies with striking sequence and binding similarities with the most potent human type-I and type-II V3-glycan bNAbs. Thus, WIN332 is a promising vaccine candidate to streamline V3-glycan bNAb elicitation.
