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

backgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV) has been identified as the primary etiologic factor of cervical cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer death in females worldwide. We have previously shown that coadministration of DNA encoding L1 capsid protein of Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) can enhance the antigen-specific immune response elicited by a therapeutic HPV16-E7 DNA vaccination. In this study, we sought to generate and evaluate the immunogenicity of a therapeutic HPV16-E7 DNA vaccine that encodes the fusion construct of HPV16-E7 and BPV-L1.

resultsWe generated a therapeutic HPV16-E7 DNA vaccine construct, pcDNA3-BPVL1-E7(49-57), encoding the fusion sequence of full-length BPVL1 protein and a murine E7 antigenic epitope, aa49-57. Transfecting 293-D

conclusionTreatment with fusion construct of BPV-L1 and HPV16-E7 epitope can elicit effective E7-specific antitumor immune response in mice. Due to the potential ability of the fusion DNA construct to also trigger immune responses specific to the L1 protein, the current study serves to support future design of HPV DNA vaccines encoding fusion HPVL1-E6/E7 constructs for the generation of both T cell and B cell mediated immune responses against HPV infections and associated diseases.
