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

Galectin 9, a ligand of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3), and PINCH, an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-promoting molecule, are expressed at much higher levels in cancerous lesions of clear cell type renal cell carcinoma (RCC) compared to normal renal tissues, and their expression levels are extremely low in normal tissues, except for galectin 9 in the spleen. Galectin 9- and PINCH-derived peptides have previously been shown to induce human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*2402-restricted and HLA-A*0201-restricted cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) with specific and highly cytotoxic activities toward RCC cells. The present study aimed to identify the peptides that induced HLA-A*33-restricted CTLs that exhibited specific and highly cytotoxic activities toward RCC cells. Specific CTLs were induced significantly, as shown by cluster of differentiation 107a degranulation stimulated with VMRC-RCW renal carcinoma cells. Therefore, peptide vaccines targeting galectin 9 and PINCH appear to be promising for clinical application.
