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

backgroundIt seems that several members of intestinal gut microbiota like Streptococcus bovis, Bacteroides fragilis, Helicobacter pylori, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Peptostreptococcus anaerobius may be considered as the causative agents of Colorectal Cancer (CRC). The present study used bioinformatics and immunoinformatics approaches to design a potential epitope-based multi-epitope vaccine to prevent CRC with optimal population coverage.

methodsIn this study, ten amino acid sequences of CRC-related pathogens were retrieved from the NCBI database. Three ABCpred, BCPREDS and LBtope online servers were considered for B cells prediction and the IEDB server for T cells (CD4

resultsA total of 19 sequences of different lengths for linear B-cell epitopes, 19 and 18 sequences were considered as epitopes of CD4

conclusionFinally, the results showed that the designed multi-epitope vaccine could serve as an excellent prophylactic candidate against CRC-associated pathogens, but in vitro and animal studies are needed to justify our findings for its use as a possible preventive measure.
