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

backgroundAmong the most common causes of invasive aspergillosis and acute bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is Aspergillus fumigatus. Transmission with A. fumigatus produces aggressive aspergillosis in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, HIV patients, and cancer patients. Asthmatics and cystic fibrosis patients are allergic to A. fumigatus. MHC class-II binding epitopes can initiate immunogenic responses in patients. In this study, we deployed immunoinformatic study to reveal epitopes from fungal proteins.

resultsIn modern research, we found multiple epitopes ITLKLLHRYSYKLAG, KLVLRAFPNHFRGDS, RYSYKLAGVNQVDVV, GKSFELNQAARAVTQ, and LHRYSYKLAGVNQVD from crucial proteins of A. fumigatus 5,8-linoleate diol synthase (ACO55067.2) and ChainB-chitinase A1 (2XVN_B). RYSYKLAGVNQVDVV, GKSFELNQAARAVTQ, and LHRYSYKLAGVNQVD epitopes interact with HLA-DRB01_0101, while ITLKLLHRYSYKLAG and KLVLRAFPNHFRGDS epitopes interact with HLA-DRB01_1501. Molecular docking analysis reveals atomic contact energy (ACE) value for these five epitopes shown below -5 Kcal/mol in docked state.

conclusionsThe invasive aspergillosis and acute bronchopulmonary aspergillosis are caused by harmful fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Our modern immunoinformatic research shows ITLKLLHRYSYKLAG, KLVLRAFPNHFRGDS, RYSYKLAGVNQVDVV, GKSFELNQAARAVTQ, and LHRYSYKLAGVNQVD epitopes could bind to MHC-II HLA allelic determinants and can initiate immunogenic response in patients affected by Aspergillus fumigatus.
