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

Autoantibody (autoAb) response is an important arm of endogenously arising anti-tumor immune responses, and has received new attention as a cancer biomarker with the recent success of immune check-point inhibitor therapy. Our laboratory has been focusing on measuring autoAb against B-cell epitopes in order to bypass the necessity to purify a panel of recombinant proteins. In order to optimize peptide-based autoAb measurement and to increase sensitivities to cover more patients, we developed a new approach of using mixed peptides to conjugate on the same microsphere and compared its results with the use of a dominant peptide epitope using Luminex microbead-based multiplex assays. The peptide epitopes of two cancer/germline antigens, New York esophageal cancer antigen-1 (NY-ESO-1) and X antigen family member-1b (XAGE-1b), and cancer/stem cell antigen, sex determining region Y-box-2 (SOX2), were used as prototypes in this study. Our results indicate that using mixed peptides of B-cell epitopes improves the sensitivity of detecting more patients with autoAb responses. Thus, when the full-length protein is not available for conjugating onto microspheres, a mixture of B-cell epitopes is the method of choice for using Luminex multiplex assay to detect autoAb response in cancer patients.
