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

An effective HIV-1 vaccine will likely need to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) that bind relatively conserved regions of the otherwise highly variable envelope glycoprotein. Among these, VRC01-class bNAbs are a reproducible antibody class that bind the CD4-binding site through genetic features encoded by the VH1-2 heavy chain and a light chain containing a rare five-amino-acid-long complementarity-determining region 3 (CDRL3). We previously developed a germline-targeting immunogen, iv4/iv9, derived from anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibodies (ai-mAbs) that target these genetic signatures of VRC01-class bNAbs. Here, we applied structure-guided modification of iv4/iv9 that improved selective binding to VRC01 precursors
