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

Although a protective HIV-1 vaccine has not yet been realized, significant progress has been made in vaccine designs that trigger B cell lineages with potential to produce broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). Advancing these strategies by optimizing vaccine boosting regimens requires early detection of maturing antibodies with neutralizing activity against native envelope glycoprotein (Env) trimers and streamlined strategies to identify antibodies as they begin to manifest desired levels of breadth and potency. Thus, we designed three types of pseudovirus screening panels based on Envs of contemporary HIV-1 isolates to facilitate detection of bnAb lineages that are on favorable trajectories during a vaccination course. The panels were selected from Tier 2 Transmitted Founder Lineage (TFL) HIV-1 Envs from placebo participants in the Antibody Mediated Prevention (AMP) efficacy trials. Using 15 bnAbs to evaluate the neutralization sensitivity of the viruses, we selected 8-member bnAb class-specific panels most sensitive to bnAbs representing their class: V2-apex, V3-glycan, CD4-receptor binding site (CD4bs), Membrane-Proximal External Region (MPER), or fusion peptide (FP). Next, we combined the most sensitive viruses among the class-specific panels to create a 12-virus panel to enable optimal detection of low-titer bnAb activity across epitope specificities. Finally, as HIV-1 continues to evolve greater levels of antigenic diversity and as current global pseudoviruses bnAb panels rely on viruses collected more than twenty years ago, we showed the importance of using contemporary viral panels to assess bnAb breadth and potency and designed a 12-virus panel representative of the spectrum neutralization profiles among AMP placebo viruses. We characterized pseudoviruses bearing each selected Env using standardized human sera to confirm their Tier 2 status and biological relevance. These updated panels enable sensitive screening of neutralization activity in vaccine studies and can also provide a realistic assessment of the expected breadth and potency of maturing responses against contemporary HIV-1 Envs.
