Building better antibody responses: The interplay of infection, vaccination, and immune imprinting.
Review in PNAS nexus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Antibodies are critical for protection against a range of viral respiratory diseases, including SARS-CoV-2, but the induction of durable and potent antibody responses continues to be a challenge. Beyond neutralization, there is growing appreciation for the potential protective role of Fc-mediated functions, especially against immune-evasive variants. Induction of polyfunctional antibody responses is a complex multifactorial process that is shaped by interactions between various antibody features, viral properties, and host factors. Here, we review lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic regarding how prior infection and different vaccination strategies can modulate plasma and mucosal antibody profiles, including isotypes, immunoglobulin G subclasses, Fc glycosylation, and consequently, antibody functions. Additionally, we discuss the challenges of immune imprinting and its effects upon antibody responses to viral variants. This review provides insights into optimizing antibody-based strategies for COVID-19 prevention and treatment, emphasizing the need for further research to understand the mechanisms behind effective antibody responses and their impact upon clinical outcomes.
