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

backgroundIdentifying T cell epitopes on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) associated antigens or neoantigens has been a challenge. In this study, we attempted to identify PDAC T cell epitopes by mass spectrometry (MS).

methodsWe isolated HLA class I (HLA-I) and HLA class II (HLA-II)-restricted peptides, respectively, from tissues of human PDAC by using the pan-HLA-I or pan-HLA-II affinity purification column and identified T cell epitopes by peptidome analysis with MS.

resultsThrough peptidome analysis, we identified T cell epitopes shared by multiple patients with different HLA types and those containing sequences of both anti-HLA-I and HLA-II antibodies-affinity purified peptides. The identified epitopes bound non-matched HLA molecules and induced T cell response in peripheral T cells from both HLA-type matched and non-matched patients. Peptides containing both HLA class I and class II epitopes were able to induce polyfunctional cytokine responses in peripheral T cells.

conclusionsT cell epitopes in PDAC can be discovered by the MS approach and can be designed into vaccine and TCR-T cell therapies for both HLA-type matched and non-matched patients.
