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 examined interactions in a soluble tapasin (TPN)/HLA-B*0801 complex to gain mechanistic insights into the functions of TPN. Results show that TPN acts as a chaperone by increasing the ratio of active-to-inactive peptide-deficient HLA-B*0801 molecules in solution. TPN causes peptides to associate and dissociate faster owing to its effect on widening the binding groove of HLA-B*0801 molecules. Our data indicate that a TPN-assisted mechanism of peptide selection relies on disruption of conserved hydrogen bonds at the C-terminal end of the groove. Peptide sequence-dependent interactions along the entire length of the groove also play a role in this mechanism. We suggest that TPN influences presentation of antigenic peptides according to a mechanistically complicated process in which bound candidate peptides that are unable to conformationally disengage TPN from class I molecules are excluded from the repertoire. Overall, these studies unify our understanding of the functions of TPN.
