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

T cells recognize tumor-derived mutated peptides presented on MHC by tumors. The recognition of these neo-epitopes leads to rejection of tumors, an event that is critical for successful cancer immunosurveillance. Determination of tumor-rejecting neo-epitopes in human tumors has proved difficult, though recently developed systems approaches are becoming increasingly useful at evaluating their immunogenicity. We have used the differential aggretope index to determine the neo-epitope burden of sarcomas and observed a conspicuously titrated antigenic landscape, ranging from the highly antigenic osteosarcomas to the low antigenic leiomyosarcomas and liposarcomas. We showed that the antigenic landscape of the tumors inversely reflected the historical T cell responses in the tumor-bearing patients. We predicted that highly antigenic tumors with poor antitumor T cell responses, such as osteosarcomas, would be responsive to T cell-based immunotherapy regimens and demonstrated this in a murine osteosarcoma model. Our study presents a potentially novel pipeline for determining antigenicity of human tumors, provides an accurate predictor of potential neo-epitopes, and will be an important indicator of which cancers to target with T cell-enhancing immunotherapy.
