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

Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecules are major targets of virus evasion strategies because they introduce antigens from the biosynthesis pathway into the antigen-processing and presentation pathways for immune recognition by CD8+ T cells. Little is known about viral strategies that interfere with the MHC class II (MHCII) antigen presentation pathway. We identified a six amino acid sequence from type I herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) glycoprotein B (gB) that is identical to a sequence of human leucocyte antigen D (HLA-D) -associated invariant chain (Ii). In addition, this gB sequence is adjacent to a highly conserved HLA-DR1 binding motif. Both viral sequences together resemble the class II binding site of human Ii, consisting of a MHCII groove binding segment and a promiscuous binding site. We cloned gB from HSV-1 strain 17 and demonstrate association of the virus envelope protein to three HLA-DR allotypes. With chimeric Ii/gB fusion proteins we identified gB sequences that mediate promiscuous or allotype-specific binding to the HLA-DR peptide-binding domain. Mutation of two Lys residues in the viral segment of Ii/gB abolished promiscuous binding to HLA-DR heterodimers. The result indicates promiscuous binding of the virus sequence to HLA-DR molecules and suggests a potential for HSV-1 to manipulate antigen processing and presentation.
