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

purposeThe direct transmission of avian influenza viruses to human and increasing drug resisted strains posing new threats for public health. Therefore, development of efficient vaccines is needed to generate protective and persistent immunity to the viruses.

methodsThree motifs of Mx protein sequence in human, mouse and poultry located in interferon induced (GTP ase) domain were candidate as biologic adjuvant for enhancing the immune responses against influenza virus. Chimera proteins composed with the conserved HA2 subunit of influenza virus and the Mx motifs named HA2/Mx were modeled and evaluated by in silico analysis includes bioinformatics algorithms in order to explore biological characteristics of these peptides.

resultsAmongst the predicted models, HA2/Mx1 peptide showed the better results following protein structures prediction, antigenic epitopes determination and model quality evaluation. Comparative homology modeling was performed with Swiss Model and the model was validated using ProSA. Epitope predictions revealed the construct could induce both B and T cell epitopes that expect a high immune response.

conclusionTaken together, these data indicate that the HA2/Mx1 chimera peptide can be potentiated for developing an adjuvant-fused influenza vaccine capable of stimulating effective immune response.
