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

Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the leading cause of hepatocellular carcinoma and infections remain a substantial global health problem for which no curative therapy exists. As cytotoxic CD8 Methods: To discover new HBV-derived peptides, immunopeptidomic analysis was performed on cells expressing single HLA class I molecules transduced to express individual HBV proteins. Peptide binding assays were used to validate HLA binding of selected peptides. Additionally, we used immunopeptidomic analysis to determine the effect of the recently discovered major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) peptide editor TAPBPR on presentation of HBV-derived peptides. The results were validated using TAPBPR peptide-exchange assays. Results: We identified 28 novel HBV-derived peptides presented on HLA class I. Importantly, 22 of the newly discovered HBV-derived peptides were identified on cells expressing HLA-B*08:01, -B*15:03, -B*35:01, -C*06:02 and -C*12:03. Discussion: This work presents a substantial expansion of the HLA-B and HLA-C-restricted HBV-derived peptides described in the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB). Additionally, TAPBPR
