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

backgroundImmunoinformatics is an emerging interdisciplinary field which integrates immunology, bioinformatics, and computational biology to study the immune system. In this study, we apply immunoinformatics approaches to explore the dengue proteome in order to design a multi-epitope vaccine construct.

methodsWe used existing databases and algorithms to predict potential epitopes on dengue proteins and used a bioinformatics approach to identify the most promising epitopes. We then used molecular modelling to develop a multi-epitope construct which could be used as a potential vaccine. The results of this study demonstrate that immunoinformatics is a powerful tool for exploring and designing potential vaccines for infectious diseases like dengue.

resultsHere, we found four CD4+ epitopes NLKYSVIVTVHTGDQ, ANPIVTDKEKPVNIE, LDPVVYDAKFEKQL, and VGAIALDFKPGTSGS that were used to design vaccine construct. The vaccine construct docked with TLR5. RMSD values suggest that docked complex of TLR5 and vaccine construct have putative stable interaction to induce immunogenic effects on host.

conclusionsFurthermore, our study provides a proof of concept for the use of immunoinformatics approaches in DENV vaccine design. This vaccine can be effective in treating patients infected with DENV virus.
