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

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Class II (HLA-II) molecules bind peptides of phagocytosed non-self proteins and present them on the cell surface to circulating CD4+ T lymphocytes. A successful binding of the presented peptide with the T cell receptor (TCR) activates the CD4+ T cell, leading to the production of antibodies against the peptide (and the protein of its origin) by the B cell and augmentation of the cytotoxic and memory functions of CD8+ T cells. The first and essential step in this process is the successful formation of a stable peptide-HLA-II complex (pHLA-II), which is achieved when the peptide binds with high affinity to the HLA-II molecule. Such highly antigenic non-self peptides occur in melanoma-associated proteins and could be used as antitumor agents when bound to a matching HLA-II molecule. The objective of this study was to identify such peptides from 15 melanoma-associated proteins. We determined in silico the predicted binding affinity (IC
