Mandatory preventive vaccines for infectious diseases expressing T-cell epitopes for cancer prevention.
Article in Infectious agents and cancer, 2025. 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
We have previously reported that microorganism-associated antigens (MAAs) share high sequence and conformational homology with tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) as well as T cells cross-react with homologous MAA/TAA pairs. More recently, we have also shown that the SARS-CoV-2 preventive vaccine, besides the humoral response, is able to elicit also a T cell response which cross-react with homologous TAAs. In the present study we analyzed the mandatory pediatric vaccines, namely the hexavalent vaccine (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (whooping cough), Polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), Hepatitis B) and the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), and the chickenpox vaccine. MHC class I epitopes (9 mers) from each of these vaccines were predicted for the most frequent 12 HLA A and B alleles. Overall, 3177 strong binders (SBs) were identified and the most frequently associated allele is the HLA-A*02:01. Of these, 397 are predicted for the hexavalent vaccine and 571 in the MMR vaccine. A molecular mimicry with 59 SBs derived from cellular proteins has been identified and 13 of these proteins are significantly overexpressed in several human cancers. All these results strongly suggest that the mandatory pediatric vaccinations may potentially elicit a CD8
