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

Identifying immunodominant T cell epitopes remains a significant challenge in the context of infectious disease, autoimmunity, and immuno-oncology. To address the challenge of antigen discovery, we developed a quantitative proteomic approach that enabled unbiased identification of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII)-associated peptide epitopes and biochemical features of antigenicity. On the basis of these data, we trained a deep neural network model for genome-scale predictions of immunodominant MHCII-restricted epitopes. We named this model bacteria originated T cell antigen (BOTA) predictor. In validation studies, BOTA accurately predicted novel CD4 T cell epitopes derived from the model pathogen Listeria monocytogenes and the commensal microorganism Muribaculum intestinale. To conclusively define immunodominant T cell epitopes predicted by BOTA, we developed a high-throughput approach to screen DNA-encoded peptide-MHCII libraries for functional recognition by T cell receptors identified from single-cell RNA sequencing. Collectively, these studies provide a framework for defining the immunodominance landscape across a broad range of immune pathologies.
