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

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are promising vaccine technology due to their safety and ability to elicit strong immune responses. Chimeric VLPs can extend this technology to low immunogenicity foreign antigens. However, insertion of foreign epitopes into the sequence of self-assembling proteins can have unpredictable effects on the assembly process. We aimed to generate chimeric bovine papillomavirus (BPV) VLPs displaying a repetitive array of polyanionic docking sites on their surface. These VLPs can serve as platform for covalent coupling of polycationic fusion proteins. We generated baculoviruses expressing chimeric BPV L1 protein with insertion of a polyglutamic-cysteine residue in the BC, DE, HI loops and the H4 helix. Expression in insect cells yielded assembled VLPs only from insertion in HI loop. Insertion in DE loop and H4 helix resulted in partially formed VLPs and capsomeres, respectively. The polyanionic sites on the surface of VLPs and capsomeres were decorated with a polycationic MUC1 peptide containing a polyarginine-cysteine residue fused to 20 amino acids of the MUC1 tandem repeat through electrostatic interactions and redox-induced disulfide bond formation. MUC1-conjugated fully assembled VLPs induced robust activation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells, which could then present MUC1 antigen to MUC1-specific T cell hybridomas and primary naïve MUC1-specific T cells obtained from a MUC1-specific TCR transgenic mice. Immunization of human MUC1 transgenic mice, where MUC1 is a self-antigen, with the VLP vaccine induced MUC1-specific CTL, delayed the growth of MUC1 transplanted tumors and elicited complete tumor rejection in some animals.
