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

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules are involved in the presentation of antigenic peptides to CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), which is important for the development of cellular immunity during viral infections and in cancers. HLA-A2 is one of the most frequent HLA class I specificities and thus is extensively studied structurally and functionally. Since its discovery, more than 300 allelic variants of this HLA specificity have been recorded. Among the HLA-A2 allelic variants, HLA-A*02:01 is the most prevalent, hence commonly used as a model to study HLA-A2-restricted CTL responses. However, HLA-A2 alleles are unevenly distributed globally such that HLA-A2 allelic variants besides A*02:01 are expressed at considerably high frequencies in Asian and African populations. Furthermore, increasing evidence of variations in the peptide-binding repertoire and CTL responses among HLA-A2 allelic variants suggests the need to understand these differences among various frequently expressed HLA-A2 molecules. In this review, the structural and functional distinctiveness of HLA-A2 allelic variants will be discussed.
