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

Peptide immunotherapy using soluble peptides containing allergen-derived immunodominant T-cell epitopes holds therapeutic promise for allergic asthma. Previous studies in BALB/c mice using the immunodominant peptide epitope of chicken ovalbumin (p323-339) have been unable to demonstrate therapeutic effects in ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammation. We have previously shown that intravenous application of p323-339 can effectively tolerise p323-339-reactive T cells in a non-allergic model in C57BL/6 mice. This study aimed to assess the effects of using p323-339 immunotherapy in a C57BL/6 model of ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammation, identify any additional epitopes recognized by the ovalbumin-responsive T-cell repertoire in C57BL/6 mice and assess the effects of combination peptide immunotherapy in this model. Ovalbumin-reactive T-cell lines were generated from ovalbumin-immunized C57BL/6 mice and proliferative responses to a panel of overlapping peptides covering the ovalbumin sequence were assessed. Soluble peptides (singly or combined) were administered intravenously to C57BL/6 mice before the induction of ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammation. Peptide immunotherapy using the 323-339 peptide alone did not reduce the severity of allergic airway inflammation. An additional immunodominant T-cell epitope in ovalbumin was identified within the 263-278 sequence. Combination peptide immunotherapy, using the 323-339 and 263-278 peptides together, reduced eosinophilia in the bronchoalveolar lavage and ovalbumin-specific IgE, with apparent reductions in interleukin-5 and interleukin-13. Characterization of the T-cell response to a model allergen has allowed the development of combination peptide immunotherapy with improved efficacy in allergic airway inflammation. This model holds important potential for future mechanistic studies using peptide immunotherapy in allergy.
