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

We developed SwiftMHC, an ultra-fast and accurate structure-based framework for peptide-MHC (pMHC) modeling and binding affinity prediction. Using task-specific deep learning trained on physics-derived synthetic data, SwiftMHC predicts pMHC binding affinities in 0.009 s per case on a single A100 GPU when running in batch mode, offering improved speed compared with leading sequence-based tools such as netMHCpan and MHCflurry while maintaining competitive accuracy. In addition, SwiftMHC generates all-atom 3D pMHC structures with a median Cα-RMSD of 1.32 Å against crystallographic benchmarks, matching or exceeding state-of-the-art methods such as AlphaFold2-finetune but at a lower computational cost. Optimized for HLA-A∗02:01 9-mer peptides but readily extensible to other alleles, SwiftMHC unites structural insight with high-throughput scalability to accelerate safe and effective epitope discovery in cancer immunotherapy.
