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

summaryBecause of their high abundance, easy accessibility in peripheral blood, and relative stability ex vivo, antibodies serve as excellent records of environmental exposures and immune responses. Phage Immuno-Precipitation Sequencing (PhIP-Seq) is the most efficient technique available for assessing antibody binding to hundreds of thousands of peptides at a cohort scale. PhIP-Seq is a high-throughput approach for assessing antibody reactivity to hundreds of thousands of candidate epitopes. Accurate detection of weakly reactive peptides is particularly important for characterizing the development and decline of antibody responses. Here, we present BEER (Bayesian Enrichment Estimation in R), a software package specifically developed for the quantification of peptide reactivity from PhIP-Seq experiments. BEER implements a hierarchical model and produces posterior probabilities for peptide reactivity and a fold change estimate to quantify the magnitude. BEER also offers functionality to infer peptide reactivity based on the edgeR package, though the improvement in speed is offset by slightly lower sensitivity compared to the Bayesian approach, specifically for weakly reactive peptides. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: BEER is implemented in R and freely available from the Bioconductor repository at https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/beer.html.
