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

purposeCampylobacter jejuni is the one of the leading causes of bacterial diarrheal illness worldwide. This study aims to design specific epitopes for the utility of designing peptide vaccine(s) against C. jejuni by targeting invasive, virulent and membrane associated proteins like FlaA, Cia, CadF, PEB1, PEB3 and MOMP.

methodsIn the present study, various immunoinformatics approaches have been applied to design a potential epitope based vaccine against C. jejuni. The tools include Bepipred, ABCpred, Immune Epitope databse (IEDB) resource portal, Autodock vina etc.

resultsPeptides "EINKN", "TGSRLN", "KSNPDI", "LDENGCE" respectively from FlaA, MOMP, PEB3, CadF proteins were found to be the most potential B cell epitopes while peptides "FRINTNVAA", "NYFEGNLDM", "YKYSPKLNF", "YQDAIGLLV", "FRNNIVAFV" and "LIMPVFHEL" respectively from Fla, CadF, MOMP, PEB1A, PEB3 and Cia might elicit cell mediated immunity and "IFYTTGSRL" from MOMP protein might elicit both humoral and cell-mediated immunity. All these potential peptidic epitopes showed almost 80-100 % conservancy in different strains of C jejuni with varying proportions of population coverage ranging from 22-60 %. Further authentication of these peptide epitopes as probable vaccine candidate was mediated by their binding to specific HLA alleles using in silico docking technique.

conclusionBased on the present study, it could be concluded that these predicted epitopes might be used to design a vaccine against C. jejuni bacteria and thus, could be validated in model hosts to verify their efficacy as vaccine.
