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

introductionCytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation occurs in seronegative patients after solid organ transplantation (SOT) particularly from seropositive donors and can be lethal. Generation of CMV-specific T cells helps to prevent CMV reactivation. Therefore, we initiated a clinical phase I CMVpp65 peptide vaccination trial for seronegative end-stage renal disease patients waiting for kidney transplantation.

methodsThe highly immunogenic nonamer peptide NLVPMVATV derived from CMV phosphoprotein 65(CMVpp65) in a water-in-oil emulsion (Montanide™) plus imiquimod (Aldara™) as an adjuvant was administered subcutaneously four times biweekly. Clinical course as well as immunological responses were monitored using IFN-γ ELISpot assays and flow cytometry for CMV-specific CD8

resultsPeptide vaccination was well tolerated, and no drug-related serious adverse events were detected except for Grade I-II local skin reactions. Five of the 10 patients (50%) mounted any immune response (responders) and 40% of the patients presented CMV-specific CD8

conclusionCMVpp65 peptide vaccination was safe, well tolerated, and clinically encouraging in seronegative end-stage renal disease patients waiting for kidney transplantation. Further studies with larger patient cohorts are planned.
