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

Molecularly defined vaccine formulations capable of inducing antiviral CD8+ T-cell-specific immunity in a manner compatible with human delivery are limited. Few molecules achieve this target without the support of an appropriate immunological adjuvant. In this study, we investigate the potential of totally synthetic palmitoyl-tailed helper-cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte chimeric epitopes (Th-CTL chimeric lipopeptides) to induce herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-specific CD8+ T-cell responses. As a model antigen, the HSV-1 glycoprotein B498-505 (gB498-505) CD8+ CTL epitope was synthesized in line with the Pan DR peptide (PADRE), a universal CD4+ Th epitope. The peptide backbone, composed solely of both epitopes, was extended by N-terminal attachment of one (PAM-Th-CTL), two [(PAM)2-Th-CTL], or three [(PAM)3-Th-CTL] palmitoyl lysines and delivered to H2b mice in adjuvant-free saline. Potent HSV-1 gB498-505-specific antiviral CD8+ T-cell effector type 1 responses were induced by each of the palmitoyl-tailed Th-CTL chimeric epitopes, irrespective of the number of lipid moieties. The palmitoyl-tailed Th-CTL chimeric epitopes provoked cell surface expression of major histocompatibility complex and costimulatory molecules and production of interleukin-12 and tumor necrosis factor alpha proinflammatory cytokines by immature dendritic cells. Following ocular HSV-1 challenge, palmitoyl-tailed Th-CTL-immunized mice exhibited a decrease of virus replication in the eye and in the local trigeminal ganglion and reduced herpetic blepharitis and corneal scarring. The rational of the molecularly defined vaccine approach presented in this study may be applied to ocular herpes and other viral infections in humans, providing steps are taken to include appropriate Th and CTL epitopes and lipid groups.
