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 have recently demonstrated that linkage of DNA-encoding calreticulin to DNA-encoding human papillomavirus-16 E7 antigen strongly enhances the efficacy of DNA vaccines against E7-expressing tumors in animal models. In this study, as a prelude to clinical translation, we characterized the ability of DNA-encoding calreticulin linked to DNA-encoding E7 antigen to generate HLA-A2-restricted E7-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses in HLA-A2 (AAD) transgenic mice, as well as antitumor effects against an E7(+) HLA-A2(+) tumor cell line, TC-1/A2. Our results show that while vaccination with CRT/E7 DNA generates strong H-2D(b)-restricted E7 (amino acid (aa)49-57)-specific CD8(+) T-cell immune responses in both C57BL/6 and HLA-A2 (AAD) transgenic mice, no such responses were generated to HLA-A2-restricted epitopes in either type of mouse. In contrast, vaccination with DNA-encoding calreticulin linked to DNA encoding a mutant version of E7 with a deleted aa49-57 epitope leads to the generation of an HLA-A2-restricted E7 (aa11-20)-specific CTL response in HLA-A2 (AAD) transgenic mice. More importantly, vaccination with CRT/mtE7 (del aa49-57) DNA protects against a lethal challenge with TC-1/A2 tumor cells in HLA-A2 (AAD) transgenic mice. Furthermore, our in vitro studies demonstrate that the presence of the E7 (aa49-57) epitope does not suppress presentation of the HLA-A2-restricted E7 (aa11-20) epitope through MHC class I molecules. Thus, the predominant E7 aa49-57-specific CD8+ T-cell immune response in HLA-A2 transgenic mice vaccinated with CRT/E7 is likely due to preferred expansion of E7 aa49-57-specific CD8(+) T cells in vaccinated mice. These results highlight the importance of epitope immunodominance in the evaluation of immune responses in HLA-A2 (AAD) transgenic mice.
