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

Therapeutic vaccination as a treatment option for HPV-induced cancers is actively pursued because the two HPV proteins E6 and E7 represent ideal targets for immunotherapy, as they are non-self and expressed in all tumor stages. MHC-humanized mice are valuable tools for the study of therapeutic cancer vaccines - given the availability of a suitable tumor model. Here, we present for the first time an HPV16 tumor model suitable for fully MHC-humanized A2.DR1 mice, PAP-A2 cells, which in contrast to existing HPV16 tumor models allows the exclusive study of HLA-A2- and DR1-mediated immune responses, without any interfering murine MHC-presented epitopes. We used several HPV16 epitopes that were shown to be presented on human cervical cancer cells by mass spectrometry for therapeutic anti-tumor vaccination in the new tumor model. All epitopes were immunogenic when rendered amphiphilic by incorporation into a molecule containing stearic acids. Prophylactic and therapeutic vaccination experiments with the epitope E7/11-19 demonstrated that effective immune responses could be induced with these vaccination approaches in A2.DR1 mice. Interestingly, the combination of E7/11-19 with other immunogenic HPV16 E6/E7 epitopes caused a reduction of vaccine efficacy, although all tested combinations resulted in a survival benefit. In summary, we present the first HPV16 tumor model for exclusive studies of HLA-A2-mediated anti-HPV tumor immune responses and show anti-tumor efficacy of minimal epitope vaccines.
