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

Predicted Indirectly ReCognizable Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Epitopes (PIRCHE) are known to be a significant risk factor for the development of donor HLA-specific antibodies after organ transplantation. Most previous studies on PIRCHE limited their analyses on the presentation of the HLA-DRB1 locus, although HLA-DRB3/4/5, -DQ, and -DP are also known for presenting allopeptides to CD4+ T cells. In this study, we analyzed the impact of predicted allopeptides presented by these additional loci on the incidence of HLA-specific antibodies after an immunization event. We considered pregnancy as a model system of an HLA immunization and observed child-specific HLA antibody (CSA) development of 231 mothers during pregnancy by samples being taken at delivery. Our data confirm that PIRCHE presented by HLA-DRB1 along with HLA-DRB3/4/5, -DQ, and -DP are significant predictors for the development of CSA. Although there was limited peptidome overlap observed within the mothers' presenting HLA proteins, combining multiple presenting loci in a single predictor improved the model only marginally. Prediction performance of PIRCHE further improved when normalizing scores by the respective presenters' binding promiscuity. Immunogenicity analysis of specific allopeptides could not identify significant drivers of an immune response in this small cohort, suggesting confirmatory studies.
